Fear rises up inside us, she said,
But love can go clear to the bone;
Take it as close as you can, without breaking.
Maybe it’s okay to break, I said,
After all, a bone will always yearn to heal.

“Try to figure out some way to understand this thing the horse is so full of, and that he has such a strong desire to get from the person in return. It has to be togetherness. Mind, Body and Spirit is what we’re talking about here.” Tom Dorrance, True Unity
Our shared emotion,
Seventeen of twenty-seven:
Happiness, worry, fear.
What is it, rising up
Like spirit, from your eyes,
Like heaven. An open field,
Where all that matters is love
And connection, knowing
We are safe from what chases,
Knowing we are strong,
mistakes forgotten, and free.

I’ll describe early spring,
Because it’s easier,
Than describing fear:
Waking at one a.m.
In a terrible dream.
Where are you,
Why don’t you answer?
It’s forty degrees,
And the wind is rattling
The darkness and the chimes.
Everything is touched:
The willow, aspen, and roses,
Just beginning to break
Into the tiniest buds,
Yet, still bare, still silent,
Still waving their branches
Like I see you waving your arms.

there is a reason
being in nature
makes us healthy
we find the infinite
under trees and clouds and sun
the rain wetting our skin
in that moment we don’t worry
about getting wet
belief is found
courage is found
