2020.10.16: ineffable

There’s not too much good news these days, but yesterday I received some great news. A dear friend and sister to my heart found out that “there’s no evidence of disease” in her body. This is obviously the answer to to our prayers and the fulfillment of our hopes. Who can say why some prayers are answered and others are not? Or, why some hopes are fulfilled while others are dashed? It is as they say – a mystery. What is not a mystery but not that widely understood is that: life is precious. Each day is a gift to be treasured and celebrated. Be happy and live well, my friends.

the Cause of our joy
while can’t be seen by others
manifests in us

2020.10.12: guided

oh, to be
a part of something
of a noble purpose
greater than the totality of you
to have your days driven by
something primal
from deep within you
that can’t be explained
but only lived out
until all of you
is spent
only to rise again
and do it again
and again

stopping to refuel
still hundreds of miles to go
to reach winter roost
