like a restless
horse
in thundering rain
let me out

I
need
to
run
inneverendingfieldsofgrass
run
intodeepforestthick

wet doesn’t scare me

or the storm
but
my uneasy heart
needs to roll with thunder
needs the rain
as much as the green

A few times in my life, I've had moments of absolute clarity; when, for a few brief seconds, silence drowns out the noise, and I could feel, other than think.  Things become so sharp, the world seems so fresh, it's just as though it had all just come into existence. 

I can never make these moments last, I cling to them but like everything they fade.  
I've lived my life on these moments.  They pull me back to the present...and I realize that everything is exactly the way it's meant to be.

- George in "A Single Man"

on gracefulness of being

why human? why not a bird? why not a dove?

I don't hear any of the doves complaining about why so cold in winter and why these branches so naked? none of that, nope.

nothing to get sentimental, nothing to fuss about.  no small conversation.  grand silence.

it is a cold sunny winter day.  that is what it is. cold. sunny. winter.  just that. birds on tree.  me looking out from my room.

life goes on. gracefully.  as is.  life is. 

yes

honesty.  vulnerability. power. love. dance.

I am not the first person to say yes. Or the last.

Funny how I see now that it was No - all along.
Funny how No was a way of life - before.

Today is the first day of my life.

I say Yes. To life. To me. All of it.

yes is a world & in this world of yes live (skilfully curled) all worlds, e.e. cummings said.

Yes to the monsters, yes to the nun, yes to the child, yes to the wild woman.

Yes to joy and hatred and love and jealousy and anger and happiness and sadness and fun.
Yes to madness.
Yes to the ugly and the beautiful.
Yes to bad and good and compassionate and mean.
Yes to failing. Yes to making.
Yes to creation and yes to destruction.
Yes to fears. Yes to desires. 
Yes to flying and yes to falling.
Yes to tears and yes to laughter.

None of it and all of it is me.

I don’t care.  I want to dance.

dance, dance, otherwise we are lost, pina said.

Yes to death.

Yes to life.
Yes to me and all there is.
Yes to the dance.

Yes.

heart-made miracles

a string of heart-made miracles

for you and me...

turning

with so little as much as one,
I felt the turning.

all

turning

the great blue sky, the clouds, the sun

            turning

the earth

            turning

with so little as one breath,

I was one

            turning.

capito eh?
