I once asked you “how long will tomorrow last?” Eternity and a Day (1998)

Eternity and a Day

7.
I sleep, but never
at night. This small
sun of prayer.

10.
Expect
what you can’t accept.
Rain. And more rain. And more.

12.
I will tell you less
than you have ever known.

-Tamas Panitz,
selections from “Arc”

Her drama was a drama not of heaviness but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.

What does your conscience say? — ‘You should become the person you are'. Friedrich Nietzsche caramel with pink accent rose against a black background

I would like to take you for a walk in our sun.

If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.

A tall Oak tree with four Bald Eagles. The tree has grown on a sandbar in the WI River.

There is a sandbar in the WI River with a huge old Oak tree where the Bald Eagles like to hang out. It's leaning quite a bit, so I don't know how many more years it has. The sand isn't the greatest base, but it grew very tall in the middle if the river.

Always loving this ♥️

Robert Frank Untitled (Children with Sparklers in Provincetown) 1958

spirituality, yes, it seeds the world, and to find its blooms you must really look and feel, and not lose heart. not easy but necessary. think of the darkness as a facade, and as the universal way of light as the only true reality--despite appearances.

in fact, war is quite literally a disastrous proposition and wicked act that often spans years, brought about by small minds, and with disregard for nature, beauty, hope, possibility, kindness--all the things that make up a true humanity, of which religions, more and more, seem to have no part.

[i believe this angel collage is by photographer David Hoptman]

the trick is to be in this world with an open, untainted heart. because can't you feel it sometimes darkening, where before it felt light?

chaos is a kaleidoscope that changes from color to color, from shape to shape, and in its turning, in your hands, acts as a tool for the remembrance of what once was. open to stillness and sweetness, the seeds of stars.

I know what the fear is. The fear is not for what is lost. What is lost is already in the wall. What is lost is already behind the locked door. The fear is for what is still to be lost.
