Some river people some casino people
We are not some of us river people
& some casino people
we each have both in us
so daily we are given to
choose

When we are not going anywhere
When we are not going anywhere
We are already here
There is a “be there” button, after all!
Inside our hearts

Second only to pausing
The time is surely coming—and it is even now at hand—when we will use compassion and insight second in all we thing, say and do. Second only to pausing. The we will hear and act out of compassion and insight—helping before being asked, befriending the injured, lost, frail and young, smiling and sharing a kind word with all who see us.

Footprints in the Windsm # 1294–A cup of hot water in my hands
Footprints in the Windsm # 1294
I want to slow down. I want to absorb more of what life is around me. I just took a cup of hot water in my hands to warm my hands in this cold room, and decided that holding it for a minute rather than 10 seconds would provide more lasting warmth, and less interruption of the writing I was making. Yes I need to be less distracted and shattered in my mind and heart.
Please pass it on.

Hopelessly entangled?
Hopelessly entangled
not even hopefully
our entanglement
can feed our despair
or hope
—or better
put us to work
making good knots:
hope-less-ly entangled?
