“Way has opened” countless times over the past five years, as I followed a calling to create a nonprofit organization called Poetry Heals.

Sky, Sky

Sky, sky
You are blue
The sun is out

Ink

Ravenna

And what did we see, high up there
in mosaics
but the old cousins, Beatrice, Edris, Alice
holding cups of gold, their haloes
awkward like the straw hats
they wore in the beanfields

David Ray, Pima Meeting, Tucson, AZ (IMYM)

Time and Space

I carry time like a tune in my head
A murmuring metronome of which I’m unaware –
But once,Under deep anesthetic
It grew silent
And I awoke not knowing
Quite what day it was.

Psalm 46:10

Be still and know that I am.
That I am here.
That I am sacred.
That I am what you carry.
That I am. . . Water.
Holy Water.
