It’s been a long day
Beyond ambition,
beyond attainment,
is home.
Contentment,
without content;
peace,
uncaused.

It’s been a long day
I have no bones…
there are days when I could leap up to the clouds —
days when I haven’t the strength to turn the pages of a book.

It’s been a long day
Once I witnessed a windstorm so severe two 100-year-old trees were uprooted on the spot. The next day, walking among the wreckage, I found the friable nests of birds, completely intact and unharmed on the ground. That the featherweight survive the massive, that this reversal of fortune takes place among us — that is what haunts me. I don’t know what it means.
