at my desk. sept. 7.08:

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 the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
--
Infinity's Where I'm Off To...
--
Do not cling to what you know. Become. Let your light out. Embrace the darkness.
---
Keep walking, though there is no place to get to.
Don't try to see through the distances.
That's not for human beings.
Move within.
But don't move the way fear makes you move.
Today, like every other day, we wake up empty
and frightened. Don't open the door to the study
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are a hundred ways to kneel and kiss the ground.
--
Muse is not a quiet fire.
--
As our strength is constantly being tested, the only time to play it safe is in our coffins.
