    It’s a gift…

    August 10, 2023

    I believe poetry is very old.
    It’s very sacred.
    It wishes for a community.
    It’s a community ritual, certainly.

    And that’s why, when you write a poem,
    you write it for anybody and everybody…
    It’s a gift to yourself,
    but it’s a gift to anybody who has a hunger for it.

    The gift of this day

    December 8, 2022

    reading in the quiet of predawn 
    leads to reflection and contemplation 
    …the gift of this day

    our soul needs these rituals 
    as we offer our limitations and gifts
    …the gift of this day

    in these sacred moments we discover 
    in the ground of our very being we are love
    …the gift of this day
