The air I’m breathing is something else
The ground I’m walking on is something else
The time I’m going through is something else
The love I feel is something else
All of these are forms, all an approach to one

I am on a different planet every day,
and today’s planet is small – the horizon
curves nearby, and I’m afraid I’ll fall off
if I walk more than a mile. Five miles,
and I’d be standing on my head.
This planet is blue and patterned, as if
somebody had traced curves in the sand

Why deny
this body
its rights?
It is this
soul’s one
and only
and best

Odin on his horse Sleipnir
Born into this land of rolling hills,
not grand but forested, with the breath

It radiates in warmth,
it rises on effortless wings,
it spreads in soothing waves
both major and minor,

and touches everyone else
in love, forgiveness, tolerance.

My hermetic habits

Today’s horoscope said:
You might crave social contact in a way that’s unusual for you. Generally you’re not comfortable around large groups, but today you might want to be surrounded by people. Go to a religious gathering or a political rally. Attend a workshop. Or listen to a lecture given by a local author. You’ll enjoy [...]
