Mysteries, Yes!

Mysteries, Yes

Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood.

How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs.
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds
will never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.

Let me keep company always with those who say
"Look!" and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.

I had a beautiful conversation with my wonderful friend Glenn....this is the personal blip i sent him......i am truly astonished by his courage! how do we even try to understand the absolute mystery of how the human being can not only withstand such a catastrophe but even find some humor - it has such a profound effect on my thoughts and hopefully my behaviour.

have a good evening!

just noticed that my year ago image is of the very same flower and tree....how cool is that....:)
