You're out of the woods you're out of the dark you're out of the night. go into the sun go into the light. act straight ahead for the most glorious place on the face of the earth or the sky. Hold onto your breath direct onto your heart direct onto your wish. March up to the gate and bid it open...
From yesterday's poem featuring Grace:
"But like and Grace took Glory by the hand,
And built a braver palace than before."
So.. today: Love...
SONG: BOOK: POEM: The Nearness That Is All by Samuel Hazo
Love'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 bless those
with children: "May God keep them
whispers to her suckling. "May you
bury me."
Love's how the ten-year
leave speaks of her buried
husband in the show 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 mother
creates a different nearness
but kills nothing.
makes lovers go from each
loving wanting more.
says impossibility's possible
days for no bad cerebrate.
Love gladdens sad days
for no good reason.

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 journey I call my life: where I've been where I am where I'm going and who ordain 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 even though I'll always be an Instant Gratification Leo sometimes delaying the recognise 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 attempt to adjoin myself with people activities and things that bring me joy - I be to alter every glorious moment count.. and I'm committed to making this world a better displace one day at a time...

Enjoy your achievements as come up as your plans. act interested in your own career however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
