Hannah Lawson:
You can't undo
the past.
All you can
do
Is face
what's ahead.
NASA maintained
the satellites
While we rebuilt
_ the space station.
We made it safer,
made it stronger.
It belongs
to all of us now:
One
planet,
One
people.
As long as
we remember
That we all
share
One
future,
We will
survive.

WORKING TOGETHER / TRUST _ DAVID WHYTE
WE SHAPE OUR SELF
To fit this world
and by the world
are shaped again.
The visible
and the invisible:
Working
together
In common
cause .
To produce
the miraculous ,
I was told
Once,
only,
In a whisper,
“The ]zen[ blade is so sharp
— It cuts things
Together
— not apart.”
I am thinking of the way
the intangible air
Traveled at speed
round a shaped wing
Easily
holds our weight.
So may we,
in this life
Trust
To those
elements
We have yet
to see
Or
imagine •
And look for the true
shape
Of our own
Self,
By forming it
well
To the great
intangibles
About
Us .

The marvelous thing
about a simple good question is
That it both will shape our identity
and as such
The unique
authentic signature of our life
As much
by asking
As it does
by the answering.

THE ROAD UNTAKEN _ BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads
diverged
In a yellow
wood,
And sorry
I could not travel
both
And be one
traveler,
Long I stood
And looked down
one
As far
as I could
To where it bent
in the undergrowth .
Then
took the OTHER,
As just
as fair,
And having perhaps
the better claim,
Because it was
grassy and wanted wear
Though
as for that the passing there
Had worn them really
about the same,
And both
that morning equally lay
In
Leaves
No step
had trodden black .
Oh,
I kept
the first
For another
day!
Yet
knowing
How way
leads on
to way,
I doubted
if
I should ever
come back .
I shall be
telling this
With a sigh
_
Some
Where
Ages and ages
hence:
Two roads diverged
in a wood
[ Nel mezzo del cammin
di nostra vita
Mi ritrovai
per una selva
oscura,
Che la
DIRITTA VIA
era smarrita . . . ] ,
And I —
I took
The
One
Less traveled
by,
AND THAT
Has made
ALL
the difference .

"The act of writing anything
worthwhile
Always
Takes place at that strange
and sometimes disturbing
Crossroads
where aloneness and intimacy meet.
The solitariness of the writer [or any creative individual
in the contextual reality of life]
Sometimes at a desk,
Sometimes
while writing in a notebook
on a skittering knee while travelling,
Always,
If followed
rightly,
Culminates in a
Radical form of undoing
That leads to the distinctions
between aloneness and togetherness
Breaking down
altogether.
This break of the boundary
between what we think is a self
And what we think
is other than our self
Is where
the rich vein of beauty and insight
Become a reward
in and of itself,
And where the words suddenly seem
to belong to everyone . . .
Speaking of real friendship,
One of the many ways
we have made ourselves lonely
Without
gaining the deeper nourishment
and intimacies of true aloneness, is
The way
we have lost
The greater
supporting circle of friendship
Available to us
in the created, natural world:
To be friends
With the sky,
the rain,
The changing light
of a given day
And _
the horizon
Always
leading us
Beyond the circle
we have drawn
Too readily
for ourselves.
This book is, in many ways,
a celebration
Of the wider circle
of friendship
That is
our birthright .
It is ,
in wishing to deepen and make more intimate
And to live into and up
to the consequences of that rich relationship
With our world
and our astonishing planet,
And in posing all the beautiful questions
that this world asks of us,
That much of this work
has been written."
DAVID WHYTE , August 2019
As ever, profoundly being grateful to all for kindness expressed herein, I very much shall be looking forward to diving in your so inspiring & unique streams of unfolding imaginative creativity and authenticity in the forthcoming weeks.

THE OPENING OF EYES _ David Whyte
That day
I saw
beneath dark clouds
The passing of light
over the water
And I heard the voice
of the world speak out.
I knew then
as I had before
Life is no passing memory
of what has been,
Nor the remaining pages
in a great book waiting
To be read.
It is the opening of eyes
long closed.
It is the vision
of far off things
Seen
for the silence they hold.
It is the heart
after years
Of secret conversing
Speaking out loud
in the clear air.
It is Moses
in the desert
Fallen
to his knees
Before
the LIT BUSH .
It is the man
throwing away his shoes
As if
to enter heaven
And finding himself
astonished,
Opened at last,
Fallen in love
with solid ground.
PROCRASTINATION _ David Whyte
IS NOT
what it seems . . .
What looks from the outside like our delay,
our lack of commitment
even our laziness
May have more to do with a slow,
necessary ripening
through time
And a central struggle
with the core realities
Of any endeavor
to which we have set our minds.
To hate our procrastinating tendencies
is in someway
To hate our relationship
with time itself,
To be unequal
to the phenomenology of revelation
And the way it works
its own quiet way
in its very own gifted time,
Only emerging
when the very qualities it represents
Have a firm correspondence
in our necessarily struggling heart and imagination.
… Procrastination
when studied closely
Can be a beautiful thing,
a parallel with patience,
A companionable friend,
a revealer of the true pattern,
Already, we are surprised to find,
caught within us
Acknowledging
for instance, as a writer,
That before a book can be written,
most of the ways it cannot be written
Must be tried first,
in our minds,
on the blank screen
on the empty page, or
Staring at the bedroom ceiling
at four in the morning.
Procrastination enables us to understand
the true measure of our reluctance.
An endeavor achieved without delay,
wrong turnings,
Occasional blank walls
and a vein of self-doubt running through all,
Leading eventually
to some degree of heart-break
Is a thing of the moment,
a mere bagatelle,
And often
neither use nor ornament.
It will be scanned for a moment
and put aside.
What is worthwhile
carries the struggle of the maker
Written within it,
but wrought into the shape
of an earned understanding.
Procrastination helps us
to apprentice our selves to our own reluctance,
To understand
the hidden
Darker side
of the first enthusiastic idea,
To learn what we are afraid of
in the endeavor itself
To put an underbelly
into the work
so that
It becomes a living,
satisfying whole
Not a surface [platform of associative projections]
trying to manipulate us in the moment.
Procrastination does not
stop a project from coming to fruition,
What stops us
is giving up on an original idea
Because we have not got to the heart
of the reason we are delaying,
Nor let the true form of our reluctance
instruct us in the way ahead.
To properly procrastinate
is to be involved
With larger entities
than our own ideas,
To refuse to settle for
an early underachieving outcome
And wrestle like Jacob
with his angel,
Finding
as Rilke said,
‘Winning
does not tempt that man,
This is _
how he grows,
By being defeated
decisively [victoriously] ,
By greater and greater
beings [questions] .’
As ever, profoundly being grateful to all for kindness expressed herein, I very much shall be looking forward to diving in your so inspiring & unique streams of unfolding imaginative creativity and authenticity in the forthcoming weeks.

Ich habe gelernt", sagt der kleine Prinz,
dass die Welt der Spiegel meiner Seele ist.
Wenn du vergnügt bist,
erscheint dir die Welt fröhlich.
Wenn du bedrückt bist,
erscheint dir die Welt traurig.
Die Welt ist weder traurig noch fröhlich.
Sie ist einfach nur da.
Es war nicht die Welt,
die mich beunruhigte,
sondern die Vorstellung,
die ich mir von ihr machte.
Ich habe gelernt,
sie zu akzeptieren,
ohne sie völlig zu verurteilen,
bedingungslos.

One More Time
They say beauty comes from a spirit that has weathered many
hardships in life and somehow continues with resilience.
Grace can be found in a soul who ages softly, even amid the tempest.
I think the loveliest, by far, is the one whose gentle heart bears
a hundred scars from caring,
Yet, still finds a way
to pick up the lamp, one more time, to light the way for love.
– Susan Frybort •
In a time of turmoil, a pathway to Peace
. . . Our human essence lies in arrival,
but in being almost there:
We are creatures who are on the way,
our journey a series of impending anticipated arrivals.
We live by unconsciously measuring the inverse distances of our proximity:
An intimacy calibrated
by the vulnerability
we feel in giving up
our sense of separation.
To go beyond
our normal identities
and become closer than close
is to lose our sense of self in temporary joy,
a form of arrival
that only opens us to deeper forms of bonding intimacy than blur our fixed, controlling, surface identities.
To consciously become close
is a courageous form of unilateral disarmament,
a chancing of our arm and our love,
a willingness to hazard our affections and
an unconscious declaration
that we might be equal
to the inevitable loss
that the vulnerability of being close will bring.
Human beings do not
find essence through fulfilment
or eventual arrival,
But by staying close
to the way they like to travel,
to the way they hold the conversation between the ground on which they stand and the horizon to which they go.
We are, in effect, always close,
always close to the ultimate secret:
That we are more real
in our simple way
than any destination
we could reach;
That step between not understanding and understanding that
is as close as we get
to happiness.
