Enjoy the last of summer.
“They wondered nonetheless about the curious net of obligations, failings, coincidences, and events that seem to tie everything together, even for those who think they are free … maybe there are laws of obligation which bind us to patterns that we can’t see and to tasks that we don’t perceive.”
-Mark Helprin, Winter’s Tale
The comings, the goings, the ups, the downs, the beginnings and ends of life.
This is how I learn to conjugate verbs in French. Funny thing is, I can’t remember how the phrase relates to speaking the French language … it’s become more meaningful to me in English.
Life love, way of the world
Precious package
Best we could do
the only thing
Mailed to the heartland
open it, feel full
Keep the postman employed.
Travel in circles carrying
The Message
cradled in arms of grace
Give it away, passion played
Let the anchorman headline.
Life love, it was life love all along.
Follow me to the water
Where fingertips pedal softly on translucent keys
Silent notes travel across ripples of blue
and fall away into stillness.
I see the rosebud, tender and tempting
Tight layers of smoothness and simplicity
vibrating with life
capturing imagination, then admiration
revealed in the mind’s eye, lids closed one moment more.

The dry air crackles. His voice rubs away like sandpaper. White light begins to pour into the room as if to rescue me, but I’m a goner already.
His beady eyes hold no shine as words blow through his mouth and hit me squarely. I start to feel small, smaller and alone –even though everyone is there; they all hear him.
I smell the burn as bile builds slowly in my mouth. I swallow. I seethe. I see the challenge hanging there.
And I let it drop to the floor.
