I begin with my core belief—and the foundation of almost all wisdom traditions—that there is nothing you can buy, achieve, own, or rent that can fill up that hunger inside for a sense of fulfillment and wonder. But the good news is that creative expression, whether that means writing, dancing, bird-watching, or cooking, can give a person almost everything that he or she has been searching for: enlivenment, peace, meaning, and the incalculable wealth of time spent quietly in beauty.
It is so contemporary of us to feel the sky pressing
Down. Copernicus was an impossible dullard and Darwin
Didn’t even grind up the finch beaks before he smoked
Them. It is far too easy to get stuck, circling the roundabout,
Thinking about the reality show you wish you’d starred in.
(Alex Lemon)
my now, her then
intermingled as vision and sound
mingle, and what is fleeting and what remains
outside of time.
