It was I working all week for money already spent, living on city blocks in box homes, eating plastic meal deals. A few friends here, but not there and it was enough. Tired, I was always tired. Spending hard-earned money on vitamins, hit and then missing, feeling good one day and then not the next, or the next. I resting all weekend and showing up for work tired. So I moved the TV out and then the couch. I was looking for movement and well meaning in things my hands could do. I was looking for life, but occupied with things to do for others.

Dreaming Possibilities
Driven by vision, one foot after the other, like pulling yourself up from a deep sleep, pinned down by heavy emotion. Looking for healing beneath the feet, and it was the good Earth and I standing tall in something different. Making way to the great and wonderful. Running energy. The all prevailing presence of all things everywhere, beyond the confines of conflict.

Dreaming of Possibilities in a Garden World
Working the energies to build bridges where none lay. The Great and Wonderful is a day when I feel good and my mind works, getting things done. Where there is an ease, and it comes from eating right and doing good things, moving in a direction of our togetherness. Working this day forward on building a community of our togetherness. Working on the hard things to bring good things. Feeling your way through the twists and turns to stand even up with one day and then another, looking through the eyes at what the hands can do in well meaning. Shaping things to come with things to do. One inch at a time. Falling out of one day and then stepping into another.
