Like life suspended in the fleeting moment
between here
and gone …

Life will loop back
Onto itself
A coil of time,
A wreath of memories
Unwound,
Revisiting.
Hold tight. Ride on.
A curve will come.
A turn to grow.
Till the next loop
Flows back
Contracting
Time.

For the child who finally got a clean bill of health, long enough into remission at last, after three bouts of cancer, four surgeries, five courses of chemo, two collapsed lungs, a resistant infection, and more invasive treatments and hospital days than one can count (though I’m sure her parents had counted. Every. Single. One.)
Whew.
We’re so relieved.
You rock, little one!

Be a father to the vulnerable
Guide the path of those who need
A lift
A helping hand.
Be a father to those seeking
To find shelter
Who need help to
Understand.
Show the way.
Provide
Kind counsel.
If by biology or presence
Be the best
Model
You can.
For it is by kindness
That fathering
Takes hold
And
Grows children
Strong
In body, heart
And mind.

May the bud of hope bloom on
To flower large
Inside your heart
And set your soul to blossom
Wide
Throughout your mind.

My nephew took this photo some years back during a summer hiking trip. I love it for its absolute focus and the mystery of the inhabitant that had created this fabulously textured, now deserted, sheltered place of transformation. A dried out speck in the blurry landscape and yet so wholly a world onto its own, now gone.

Taper your prejudices
So they not block the light
Of real understanding.
Taper your worries
So they let in
Newborn paths.
Taper your reliance on
Hearing only what fits
Your opinion.
Taper your righteous
Indignation
So it leaves room
For your heart
And mind
To truly
Expand.
