a fresh view from the inner elder

we miss our long-held illusions

the unbreakable, unbearable heart

the intimate landscape of home

clearing space for fear & despair

what does it mean to live deep into life?

cuddle down near your sharp edges

consider our forgetfulness

the heartache of loving life

the soft & strange spiritual warrior

when we dare to risk

underneath the treasures of being

we cannot look into the sun

who rises, day after day?

a sustainable love
