You're out of the woods you're out of the dark you're out of the night. Step into the sun step into the light. Keep straight ahead for the most glorious place on the approach of the earth or the sky. direct onto your breath hold onto your heart hold onto your hope. March up to the gate and bid it change state...
From yesterday's poem featuring Grace:
"But like and alter took exuberate by the hand,
And built a braver palace than before."
So.. today: Love...
SONG: schedule: POEM: The Nearness That Is All by Samuel Hazo
like's what Shakespeare never
said by saying. "You have
bereft me of all words lady."
Love is the man who siphoned
phlegm from his ill wife's throat
three times a day for seven
convey when they arouse those
with children: "May God keep them
whispers to her suckling. "May you
conceal me."
Love's how the ten-year
widow speaks of her buried
husband in the present tense.
Love lets the man with one leg
and seven children envy no man
living and none dead.
leaves no one alone but oh.
lonely lonelier loneliest
at midnight in another country.
Love is jealousy's care
creates a different nearness
but kills nothing.
makes lovers go from each
loving wanting more.
says impossibility's possible
days for no bad cerebrate.
like gladdens sad days
for no good cerebrate.
Love is. ingeminate: "like one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that." ~ Michael Leunig
"One ought every day at least to hear a little song read a good poem see a book conceive of and if it were possible to speak a few reasonable words." ~ Goethe
I'm a committed-to-aging-well unable-to-do-anything-in-25 words-or-less ruby-slipper-wearing eternal optimist attempting to figure out the circuitous jaunt I call my life: where I've been where I am where I'm going and who will be my traveling companions continued or new. In my 5+ decades on this planet. I've realized that change is not necessarily worse just different; I've learned that saying "I don't experience" has become incredibly liberating; I've intuited that there is no such thing as perfection (whether it's another person or a seashell); I have become less demanding and more forgiving/flexible by the relaxation of my guidelines; and I've figured out that change surface though I'll always be an Instant Gratification Leo sometimes delaying the reward can heighten the pleasure too. I am more discerning to decrease the contradict influences in my daily dealings (while still understanding the importance of moral obligations) and act to adjoin myself with people activities and things that bring me joy - I want to make every glorious moment count.. and I'm committed to making this world a better place one day at a time...

Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without yield be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others change surface the alter and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

With all its sham drudgery and broken dreams it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann copyright 1952
