THE VANISHING

The mountain 
will never move 

as long as the man
chases the image

of himself trying
to move the mountain.

His ministry emerges
in the moment he disappears 

into the mystery 

that is the mountain.

THE TEACHERS

How is it 
that a mighty wound 

can bear to be near

so many blossoms?

Trees

are great teachers:

 they show us

how to hold 

both 

loss and beauty 

easily and equally

at once.

AERIAL

Above and about us

the air is a current

crackling with transmissions

of all kinds—even when

there are no 

wires or clouds

in sight. Spirit is

everywhere

threading through

atmospheres

seen

and unseen.
