and so we make our lives by what we love
it is not irritating to be where one is
it is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else
John Cage
My days would be made easier if I could follow only the rhythm of my heart
sleep until the light comes up
she would say
eat berries from the garden in the summer while you can
walk when the sun can warm even the night sky
and feel the skin of the one you love every day
these days the pace is uneven and quick
like trying to catch the step of the stranger who walks ahead
where is the purpose in that
I do not believe in an ultimate purpose
no answer to the big Why
my hope comes from no where
a vague dream that one day I can step off
and find Peace
some days I find that peace
when my lover’s eyes see me
I am opened and safe
this is peace
just as silence
and cup of tea, warm in my hands
simple
quiet
genuine
