2025

There's a place of annual pilgrimage near the end of River Me,
where the length of stay is commensurate with the level of surrender,
and the price of return simply the sharing of the message

Grace is the gatekeeper,
willingness the legal tender for entry,
and compassion the levy for time spent

This year's visit was a giant sigh
as I found myself in a particularly holy cul de sac
where Spirit and rain draped themselves over me like a prayer shawl
and an impossible evergreen presented itself for reflection

10,000 starlight-tipped candles stretched between her branches,
while garlanded words from the poets and the saints
melted top to bottom to form a single sentence...

Legacy Album is the place of annual pilgrimage that feeds the River We;
where the length of stay is commensurate with our level of letting go
and the price of enjoyment simply the hearing of the revealed sentence

"May each of us move from human doing to human, Being."
