What is important is to keep our mind high in the world of true understanding, and returning to the world of our daily experience to seek therein the truth of beauty. No matter what we may be doing at a given moment, we must not forget it has a bearing upon our everlasting self which is poetry.

~Basho

how to not sink in the muck….but to swim lightly in the blue……isn’t this the timeless desire?

inquiry for today~ what feels poetic and timeless in your life?

don’t let go

Ragged Angel,
Never doubt that your light
shines through me still …
Bless the torn,
the broken hearts shattered beyond mending,
the lost who have no faith of ever being found.
Let your light shine
through the rent places …
On my knees,
I will not forget the power of need,
or abandon those whose beauty breaks
through darkened corners …
Touch me with joy and the sweet agony
of the way home,
Through the thick holy forest
Dark with fearsome reality and
Light with miracles …
Dancing
All together
Each drop of life, ocean flow,
dark and light,
and all the colors invisible and seen
dancing, dancing, all of us, all the way home.
