Benches

oh, what a Wonder
to discover the whole world
on a park bench
the longing to spend a lifetime
sitting
talking
not talking
marveling at the elasticity of Time.
Tell me everything...

2010

Well. I don't want to be a party-pooper - but I must say that I'm a tiny bit disappointed that we don't all have personal jet packs, or anti-gravity boots yet. IT'S 2010 for God's sake!

Maybe next year...

Currently I am in a cabin in the mountains.
I am at a resort, where I believe I may be one of the only guests.
I sat in an outdoor hot tub alone for over an hour yesterday and didn't see a soul.
What luxury.
What a lovely way to begin a new decade...

The world remains a mystery to me and I continue my quest to lose my mind...to divest myself of vague fears, to fail forward, to live more in the moment, to embrace change and to TRUST.

Yoga helps.

Someone left this as a comment, but I thought it deserved a wider audience. Good, old Rumi:

Why do you stay in prison
when the door is so wide open?

Move outside the tangle of fear-thinking.
Live in silence.

When I am with you, we stay up all night.
When you're not here, I can't go to sleep.

Praise God for those two insomnias!
And the difference between them.

2010.
Still here.
Still breathing.
....bring it!
