be boundless

there are some people who live in a dream world,
and there are some who face reality;
and then there are those who turn one into the other.

sunday meditation

"In Love that Long" --Rumi

I am here, this moment, inside the beauty,
the gift God has given,
our love:

this gold and circular sign
means we are free of any duty:

out of eternity

I turn my face to you, and into
eternity:

we have been in
love that long.
