Words are how
Words are how you have been speaking to me, or rather how I (think I) have been hearing you. Of course you can speak other languages: touch, rhythm, story, silence.
Silence, then; silence, Now. You.

Artists burning their work
Saddened immensely I am when I hear of someone burning their work: they have kept it from others who might from there take off. Or maybe it would hold back some or all of us. How can we know?
I think we need to reach out and make whole where and when and how we can. Ours is not to question its effectiveness or even wisdom.

Flowers without butterflies
If flowers have not the butterflies and bees to carry their pollen, the winds to carry their seeds, the rains to nourish, their species dies out. Flowers cannot survive without conversation.

We teach by what we demonstrate
We teach by what we demonstrate. If we demonstrate “Sit there, listen only,” we get nothing. If we demonstrate conversation, we increase our chances of conversation.

I pray sometimes to people about
Am I to silence
my lips, my pen?
Keep to myself
my thoughts, my prayers?
I pray sometimes
to people about:
please help, please open
our world, include voices
you had not heard
hear their prayer, our prayer
words I hear
seem no answer
still, open
