Nine Common Places of Wonder

 

 

And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

—Meister Eckhart

 

 

rooting for beauty

all day the snow touched everything—

thorn, stain, broken glass

 

*

 

in every moment

by what strange forgetfulness

do we not bow to each other

 

*

 

fiercely awake—

every invisible angel I doubted

hovers above my bed

 

*

 

always this invitation—

become music,

become clear, clear water

 

*

 

this terrible ache,

giving it the best seat

at my table

 

*

 

after swallowing the sea

still thirsting

for a lake

 

*

 

the next true thing—

a wind that begins far away

unbraids my hair

 

*

 

not knowing

how to pray, I learn to practice

astonishment

 

*

 

finding such

oh

so much more than enough
