All morning it has been raining. In the language of the garden, this is happiness. - Mary Oliver

Everything that was broken has
forgotten its brokenness. I live
now in a sky-house, through every

Our touching, our stories. Earthy
and holy both. How can this be, but
it is. Every day has something in
it whose name is Forever.

There are moments that cry out to be fulfilled. Like, telling someone you love them. Or giving your money away, all of it. Your heart is beating, isn’t it? You’re not in chains, are you? There is nothing more pathetic than caution when headlong might save a life, even, possibly, your own.

Poems arrive ready to begin.
Poets are only the transportation.
