Just Give Me a Minute

The Sacred Gift of Life
For years and decades as long and far
as my distant memory will stretch I've survived under the thumb of an odd belief ruled by a crooked conviction — felt so true to me at the time — like a holy motto picked from the pockets of the fates a personal mantra played on repeat of a prophecy I was forced to fulfill a… -

At Risk of Trespass
There are parts of me that remain untrespassed and I wonder whether to invite you there or check them out alone one more time before I dare ask you to accompany me along the ridge path that drops away to both sides a fine view to the left the air clear and bright and to the right the fog of despair which is also part of…

Before the Supperbell Rings
Wait not until the wild
tiger takes you over but let yourself run free before the supperbell rings drift no more through the fog of wondrous plots tangled in their contrivances hold on to the pitch of your story so the rubber bullets cannot reach you nor the ones you love the starwheels of fortune may bless and…

In a Corner of Apparent Insignificance
Somewhere, in a corner of
apparent insignificance I found a piece of honey comb stuck at the bottom of an old jar reminded me of the generosity often hidden in small events popping into life unexpected with secret serendipity signals of a whole other universe just a hair's breadth away I imagine…

Gift in the Gap
A popular way to beat myself up
hides in the apparently harmless concept of an 'unlived life' â—Š plenty of roads-not-taken â—Š decisions-not-made â—Š opportunities missed â—Š potential-not-achieved all in a bitter nutshell which holds more than enough to make me feel â—Š inept â—Š stupid â—Š awkward â—Šâ—Šâ—Š a failed human specimen â—Šâ—Šâ—Š yet…

Recipe for a Real Source
A pinch of awareness
a dollop of humility three table-spoons of courage and half a pint of perseverance mix all four ingredients until readily assimilated and heat until hot enough to touch briefly without getting burnt the source is now ready — which begs the question — what does it mean to be ready? Some people… -

As we walked through the door long since glimpsed as open waiting for so many years we knew it had been a training for just this moment All of a sudden the cards reshuffle themselves the decades spent in training make total sense where the stakes had been ramped up and up and up and surrender finally is the only… -

Was it the sea or the smell of the air
a sense of truth or a sacred sigh
