"Keep your eyes clean and your ears quiet and your mind serene. Breathe God's air. Work, if you can, under His sky."
~Thomas Merton
whether it be by
tears or rain, we must allow
our coiled emotions
like snakes in the grass
to uncoil, and to leap out
refreshing the day
tall summer grasses
bespeak cool safety and shade
risk your life just once
for the pure freedom
known leaping and being still:
quiet, like just now
after a cool rain
where rolling green hills stand still
drinking it all in
