Open or Closed


When I open a space for the Divine,
the universe opens a space for me.

When I close my eyes to what is,
I close my life to what can be.

The answer to every question I ask
is already in the palm of my hand.

You feature some of the most interesting photos around. It amazes me though how each one fits so nicely with your words. It's a gift, my friend and you use it well!!

Compass

If you lie north-northeast
It might be open.

If you lie south-southwest
What was open is now closed --

As closed as childhood
Or empty Easter eggs.

The wonder has gone
Into the branches overhead

That no longer house birds
As skyscrapers house families.

The arc of the sky broods
But does not rainbow.
