that ache in the small of your back

verna vogel



how old is my valley
millions of years

I suppose

how old is my iris
just a few weeks

one grows from the other
time means nothing

life goes on
with us or without us

james lee jobe

Morning meditation: It is good to keep an ideal in mind as a direction, but then to open to the reality of experience.
