No Rush

this is the center of the universe at this moment unless you’re looking in another direction, or are thinking about something from a long time ago, in which case it will wait quietly right here until you return

Magical Beast

this is a magical beast that holds the secret of light & shadow in a safe place in her heart & when it has been too long grey, she starts to dance & laugh & cry & sing & the sunlight fills her up & spills in wild abandon back into the world again

Geographer

I like Geography best, he said, because your mountains and rivers know the secret. Pay no attention to boundaries.

Gap

The only thing that separates me from the animals is a lot of words, so when I’m not talking much, the gap closes really quick.

Back to Nature

We went camping once & the people next to us had a TV & they invited us over to watch the Miss America pageant & everyone said isn’t nature wonderful & after a while I went over to the dunes & watched the waves smile brightly in the moonlight.
