We sleep
some may even rest
while others sleepless
lie thinking about
tomorrowWe listen
to the silent streets
proclaiming our lives
are indoors now, and now,
but not tomorrowWe live
in this, our moment,
as all we have,
our precious now, is now
not tomorrowWe open
to the what and how
our lives are this
knowing each day, today,
is not tomorrow

Whom We Meet
of long nights
the emerging light.
For the totality of this darkness
Or, perhaps we might see them
Living
If I can
see the dawn
even in pain
then all is
well and I have
received a giftIf I can
go out
and feel the breeze
on my face
then I have received
a gracious giftIf someone
knocks
on my door
and is welcomed in
then for me this is
a wonderful giftIf I wake up
tomorrow
and I can breathe
then this
is the gift of life
to be cherished
A Good life
This I know
that when
tomorrow comes
with the rising sunthings can change
for better or worse
or stay the same
till a new rising.This is okay.
Life is this
and I want to savour
each of the moments.For everything,
all the good
and the bad,
is gift,
present,
presence.
this tree: autumn
at the edge of the
park, roadside, leaves cling against
the wind, she stands strong
lifting up
on the wings of birds
in the songs of birds
listen, sing, fly
easter day 2013
picture of snowdrops:
symbol of gentle courage
pushing through hard ground
petronella
she thought to free a
prince, wore herself down then found
her real enchantment
