doing before traveling

Am travelling, by car, tomorrow.
Always have the urge to get a million
tasks done before a trip. This time,
I am trying to focus on the traveling.

Yesterday I walked
among tree and river
and sun and fern
and all was shining.
Today, with four writers
reading their work aloud,
also.

And today, we are looking
after the eels in the rivers 
and the seas.

be honest

Honesty is necessary for writing. 
I always say this. 
So, when I went to this school
to work with kids, I smiled
at their school motto.

waves of wind, and in another 
direction: an airport.

wonder

To walk into this square
is to walk into wonder, and I love 
the building covered in white,
as if the sky
is also playing.

The other day I said edges
and corners are important.
I was talking about photographs,
but this whole room is important.

somehow.

Today, we talked about nothingness 
and life and death and angels. I said
my angel is my heart
on a bright morning.
