Live in the present. Do the things that need to be done. Do all the good you can each day. The future will unfold.
-Peace Pilgrim
Again the invitation
to meet the world just as it is
and fall in love.
To let the body weep
if it wants to weep.
To let the voice sing
because the song rises up
and says sing.
It does not matter
who is watching.
See the kingfisher, how he does not hesitate
before diving headlong
into the pond.
Love like that.
Do it now.
I was just watching a heron this morning in the pond, not diving in but saying Maybe. Your kingfisher makes the poem.
