I sit up late dumb as a cow,

which is to say

somewhat conscious with thirst

and hunger, an eye for the new moon

and the morning’s long walk

to the water tank. Everywhere

around me the birds are waiting

for the light. In this world of dreams

don’t let the clock cut up

your life in pieces.

~Jim Harrison

a sweet reverie…

inquiry for today~ when you hear your life calling you deeper…

how this life unfolds…

It’s a mystery, isn’t it? How we can look back at a life we’ve lived and see it as something so alien to us, even when we know it’s ours. It’s as if the people we were, the things we did, the choices we made, belong to someone else entirely. And yet here we are, carrying it all with us, every day, as if to say: This is who I am. This is what made me.

~Richard Russo
