The Way It Is - (poema)

"There`s a thread you follow. It goes among

things that change. But it doesn`t change.

People wonder about what you are pursuing

You have to explain about the thread.

But it is hard for others to see.

While you hold it you can`t get lost.

Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die;

and you suffer and get old.

Nothing you do can stop time`s unfolding

You don`t ever let go of the thread". 

-William Stafford -

where is his nest? (poema)

have you seen that raven at the upper right corner in the sky?

where is he now?

i am still cultivating his presence. the gift he gave to me.
it was light and it was dark

deep imagery

from which i discovered the unique place

i am probably a hunter

i have searched food for you

the universal food
i have it.

"You see, I want a lot

Maybe I want it all;

The darkness of each endless fall

The shimmering light of each ascent"

(Rilke)
