Horrid hard times
may come into our lives
to release false obligations
we cling to
never learning to say no sweetly
without guilt or even regret
to remind us of the real coordinates
our true obligations
which are pure
and easily delightful
so I geiger counter
everything that I am
looking for the radioactivity
of false attachment
that is really invisibility cloaked terror and fear
I follow the clicks
and remind myself to believe
my own utter truth
this: that I may wind up
ready to
shed tears along with whole
lives
now we are harkening to angelic choruses
sweetly sighing
God only ever wants us to
be obliged
to really
truly
Love
I have wondered/ where visceral fear is engendered/ what starts it sprouting/ lurking as a baseline/ like breath we just breathe/ and suddenly we may notice/ each breath/ fear is like that/ ubiquitous/ suddenly breaking the surface/ but I have wondered/ where it was learned so utterly/ perhaps the efforts of big people/ to get little people/ under control/ in line/ like smart little soldiers/…

where it was learned so utterly/
perhaps the efforts of big people/

it started there in the land of /
giants/
among those who summoned us here/
for the sole purpose/

That it has been over 40 years since the /

for almost two decades/
forty years ago I was a teenager/

seventeen years hence/
I will have met and exceeded/
my three score and ten/
and I know/
even then I will lift my eyes to the/
sky/
and wonder

The third Sunday of Advent/
allows us to see a glimmer of light on the way/
of reflection in the noisome crowded external/
do everything for everyone/
secretly want the big gaping hole inside/
finally filled/
under construction we pause draped in purple/
and listen to the launch of a burble of pink/
pink sandy beaches/
the pink of sunrise/
and sunset/
the pink filled with God breaking into/
the stubborn world/
the weary inner world/
one more/
time/
We have arrived/
at that certain age/
when certain friendships harbor all/
the sorrow/
shared undiluted/
the flawed and silly humor/
lightens hearts/
the distant dreams/
distilled and woven into stronger/
threads of hope/
the bond of friendship/
like deep bodied wine/
improves with age
