When our focus is toward a principle of relatedness and oneness,
and away from fragmentation and isolation, health ensues.
Transcendence as the only real alternative to extinction.

PRAYING
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but a doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
