Knees down, heart open, head up

2021 February 25th

Sometimes, praying is releasing our pent-up, used-up life and making room in ourselves for new life.

At two-fifty-nine

2020 January 14th

Prayer to the middle-of-the-night gods:
      please let me sleep —
thank you for the beautiful moon
      and winter silence
but please let me fall back to sleep —
      no offense.
                        Amen.

The chaos-harmony of life

2002 December 12th

I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers—
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again
