example in being

Any movement or sound is a profession of faith,

as the millstone grinding is explaining

how it believes in the river.

No metaphor can explain this,

but i cannot stop pointing to the beauty.

Rumi,  "Put This Design in Your Carpet"

the knowledge of crows and others

it is windy now, it seems

the glass rattles in the frame

earlier today it was windy too

only the crows knew this

only the trees, the tall grasses

what do any of us know from inside our houses?

amongst the feet of flowers

for james~


i sit at your feet 
and invite my head to bob 
heavily toward the earth

there is no such thing as low or lowly
there is only you and i
and paying attention to this moment

intimacy and hope
