There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt,
containing a tornado. Dam a
stream and it will create a new
channel. Resist, and the tide
will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry
you to higher ground. The only
safety lies in letting it all in –
the wild and the weak; fear,
fantasies, failures and success.
When loss rips off the doors of
the heart, or sadness veils your
vision with despair, practice
becomes simply bearing the truth.
In the choice to let go of your
known way of being, the whole
world is revealed to your new eyes.

tossed in waves
looking to the promontory
It says:
read swells
keep your sight
find harmony in the stir
understand how and when to climb
for this is an abrupt hardness
to fall broken
nearer hope
is a mercy
a trough
to reveal clear footing
and hands still strong
shake in lifting
regain sight upon upon the high ledge
the froth below and turmoil ebb
my heart
still beating

In truth
In waiting
Through blue
Wide open
Heart sky
As you are
Expansively
Intimately
Always
Loved
Grounded free

drifting at sea
without
your voice the rudder
my soul
the wind
gusting and twirling
under
our constellations
now
now
catch and billow
righten
in joy
our dawn
rising on the edge
looking for
your smile
to me

My sketchbook is getting damp from the spray
It's a torrent unleashed as
thunder rolls
Midnight black stripped in hot flashes of punctuated amens
Rounds of sounds of liquid laughter shake in the atmosphere
Lyrical clapping voices arise
Millions of drops on millions of leafy palms uplifted
The canopy dances
now in a roaring delight
I hear a waterfall singing your name
because you're missed most intensely in these spaces of awe
Yes
You can
Be
with
me
You are

into you
atomized
every
signal caressed
infused
permeating
these primal fountains
roiling together
this great smiling heart
sun of our living impulse
seed of our being
into
our
depths
two into one
released
holy frequencies
together
dancing
me
into you
happily
headlong
spiraling

The day was perforated by a threshold
A distracted post and lintel technicality
All a part of this door I've been painting
It opens out
It opens up
Into joy
But while I was placing tiny brush strokes
In incremental positions
Adjusting for full light
You swung it wide open
Thankfully
You swung it wide open
Let's go!

please no chocolate heart
syrupy sentiment mass produced
slid into an envelope
pre-made for a day in a year in a life
please yes warm hand in a cold world held
jumping together into the unknown
adventure made true by love
unafraid to live new
everyday every year this life
