Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.” — Rumi

One

origins want setting, perhaps where is an arbitrary question in the grand span — the bridge, too un-elemental to take us anywhere
still, the liquid drips and fire (contained) spits steam
if we could only balance the forces we believe in — creativity would live

Two

planting the pollinator habitat — this is the expansion we’re seeking
clear skies, and the monarchs migrate, arrive safely
do the work
do the work
rest
repeat

Three

authentic courage — undeniable power — orbit this star
with the help of…

Four

entanglements- search the mandala — the harvest, the maze, the sand dollar, and the snail
find all the elegant functionality of the season

Five

and then — flame!
make the most of this momentum — it’s earth, after all
