Dear Liesbet,
How we find or make
meaning — how we fill
or fulfill —
what cost or what
loss, how the heart
expands and contracts
when we say “yes” or “no” —
filter the residue,
magnify the results
_________________
Dear Marino,
How do we doubt
connection—
expansion—
fullness—
How do we doubt
“thank you” and
I hold your pain for
one small moment—
A smile in the street
when you are momentarily seen—
a flash of joy

Dear Nilufer,
Suddenly, the known quantity
becomes new — a flash of
awareness — space in
the heart-field of belonging
to life, to open joy—
the impact of the sunset is
earth-shattering, a leaf on the
ground transformational—
