Come with me to this place
I visit often, hidden behind an eyelash;
where it is Easter all the time and
rebirth is not a sometime thing; where
gods cavort in joyous abandon.

Come, we dance. . . .

Today the world stood still. In the
bright afternoon sun I saw a butterfly
dart into a spider’s web woven between
the power lines and lift it up and carry
it with him.

In the silence I heard the question.
How heavy is a spider’s web on a butterfly’s wing?
Since everything is balanced,
the question is proportional.
A friend said to me, ‘only you had eyes to see it.’

Does the world stand still for you?    Ever?

It sometimes has seemed as if my life has been lived under a premise of ‘hurry, we are late already’.  And I’ve wanted to  say like the phrase I learned. . . I am dancing as fast as I can. . . I am taking time to reread things I have written and learning to thank who I was for finding the time when my  half of the world slept,  to leave a memo of hundreds of thousands of feelings.  Veronica,  I hardly got to know you. . . . this was the first post 8 years ago on fromanupperfloor.com  . . . a gift from me to my new readers. . . .
