The beauty of friendship
It helps
The love of faithful community
It helps
The possibility of being reconciled
That what was lost is found
In the unlikeliest places
of life
and love
such small measures of joy
add up to
courage in the face of
unthinkable losses
so that we do not despair

There was coffee
I picked up a car rental
I drove
I laughed with friends
at work
ate salad
meatloaf
green beans
chili
and pie
later I arrived safely at my destination
it would have been a good day
except for the massacre
the daily murders
the media news cycle
feasting
the platitudes and attitudes
it would have been a good day if I was totally immune
immunity is partial
immunity is making me
and us
deathly ill
trapped in a nightmare
we cannot escape from in daylight
someone sent me roses
all through my life
Daddy once cut them in the blooming garden
and presented to me an array in a sweet
cobalt blue ruffled vase
no double dozen ever meant as much
or was ever so red

Life is usually
maybe always
an inside job
consider that we construct
our reality
and name it ubiquitous
a bit deranged
but that’s what we do
though it seems deadly
the only way to life
is the inward path
take responsibility for your
fears
and reactionary patterns
set by scars and scorns felt
long ago
understand that the persons and
circumstances before us
are brand new except for the lovely
way we deign to fit them into
our patterns of endless life strife
we’ll all get further in the game of love
by looking at the writing
on the wall of our
closed
eyeballs
life is always
or usually
an inside
job
We are pruned/
cut back/
in ways that emerge and appear random/
shocking/
but we are part of the pattern/
somewhere and somehow/
in the pattern in deeper ways than we see/
far beyond our fear and victim posture/
mighty this fierce cutting back/
lives in us as activated/
turbo charged/
evolutionary growth/
and we become more of what we are/
mighty
