they grew very lonely with dreams of leaving
the farm
they began to recite a spell they inherited
from the great great ones toward
expansiveness
one morning
sun peeking over the ridge
dew on the grass
enfolded with promise
they followed the first rays
west

If the universe is ever expanding then let us be expansive, too, in our generosity and openness, seeing each sunrise as an invitation to explore our communities and discover. This is hard to implement after trauma. I looked inward and outward and realized: becoming bright and friendly and inquisitive, open-hearted again, is one of my secret projects and clocking several years now. The world does not need me. But I am better off in circulation than out.
