My Heart Speaks Here

One Realization, One Memory, One Story at a Time

Bio
I'll tell you about my journey while I'm telling myself, rereading and saying aha! yes! and that is what it was like! Words have magic feet. I like to see them dance. The rest is to be kept quiet because it is sacred. How I watch people and love them never wondering if we'll agree. I love them because they are. I believe in words but they aren't everything. I'll take harsh speech and good deeds over eloquence and little helpful action in the world. There's shades of gray through everything which is one of many reasons I pray, "Thy Will not mine be done," trying not to cross my fingers but keep my eyes and heart open.

I'm content to wait.

I know all four points on this afternoon's list.
What to buy, what to do, how to prepare for the next doing,
later, beyond this pleasant spell.

Already after four, I am aware the day is marching forward
for so much of the world while I sit here on the porch,
observing, quiet, a visitor to my own thoughts,
framing the moment in a view of barely swaying tree limbs
covered in tiny violet petals hovering over a carpet of spring flowers.

Birds sing, I sigh, and still, feel nothing but a giving serenity,
its generous offer measured breath, almost-tears of presence, a listening.
