How one breathes ones
breath says more about
one’s life than anything
When one sighs its
sign is exasperation when
one heaves its exhaustion
when one snores its
sleep when one yawns
its tired and when
one simply and quietly
and rhythmically breathes its
as peaceful and calm
as the surf rolling
onto shore and kissing
the sand quickly and
retreating embarrassed only to
do it again over
and over without shame

Ovation
The realization and subsequent
acceptance that I have
in fact become the
thing I dreamed about
is both startling and
relieving on both hands
the left being uhoh
now what and the
right being mmm at
long last so what
comes next applause does
An ovation for what’s
ended and one for
what’s about to begin
Future
Our future is just one step away. Sometimes we crawl and other times we leap. The important thing isn’t how we do as much as that we do. Go on. Every adventure starts somewhere.
TrustTruth
I was presented with
an incomprehensible truth a
truth that at first
I tried to negotiate
a truth that I
tried to entertain a
truth that I finally
had to accept a
truth that I wasn’t
anything better than what
I was at that
very specific moment and
in that very specific
place That what I’d
accepted as previous truth
was in fact a
bottomless bucket appearing to
hold water for it
looked like a bucket
when it was really
the semblance of one
What I learned in
Charlotte was that whatever
I thought I was
I wasn’t I was
a representation of a
thing and that who
I truly was couldn’t
be seen by others
until I could be
seen first by myself
Charlotte caused me to
travel deep inside to
explore the nooks and
crannies the divots and
traps until finally I
met myself and who
am I really I
am Will and Faith
two very old friends
of whom I missed
and glad were back
See
I maintain that what
we see is the
result of what we
wish and what we
wish is what we
want and what we
want is what our
hearts see so what
we have has always
been what our hearts
desire if you want
change then have the
courage to see it
for neither the eyes
nor the heart are
blind one doesn’t need
eyesight to possess vision
