Now we understand —

time is not a fleeting thing,

it is we who fleet.

Now we understand –

time does not have any wings,

it is we who fly.

.

Now we understand –

there is only one present

for us to unwrap.

Sorry I’m way behind reading blogs again. Am missing you all, and will hopefully start catching up soon, little by little. Please forgive me if I don’t comment much.  (Fibromyalgia and chronic back pain are the usual culprits, and I know many of you can relate to these “invisible” health problems.) 

Loving thoughts to everyone. ❤❤

when rain

crashes deserts

and old seeds

explode

into rivers of flowers

and mountains lean down

close to the sea

and there is no abyss

to slice reality.
