The leaves do what we can’t.

They wait their whole lives.

At first they dream of air

and wait to slip from wood.

Then they dream of openness

and wait to stretch in light.

Then they dream of thirst

and wait to soften in the rain.

At last they dream of nothing

and simply unfurl. 

Photosynthesis is how this waiting 

is described in the physical world. 

The mystery of waiting is what 

turns light into food. 

To wait beyond what we think 

we can bear is how things 

within turn sweet.

mini life lessons all around me…

inquiry for today~ may your life reflect your bliss….

forgive the deep….

How you love, how you give, and how you suffer

is just about the sum of who you are.
