Paraphrase of Walt Whitman by Louis Alemayehu
I have heard what the talkers were talking, The talk of the beginning and the end. But I do not talk of the beginning or the end. There was never anymore beginning than there are now, Nor any more youth or age than there is now, And never be any more perfection than there is now, Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now. Clear and sweet is my soul, And clear and sweet is all...

On the soft underbellies of mollusks...
“Sometimes I think the animal most closely related to the human being is a mollusk. We carry this calcified exterior, capable of warding off danger and protecting us from the elements. But turn us around, and there is the soft, vulnerable underbelly that we need to keep hidden: that we feel is our greatest weakness.

The invitation
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s...
"Of Being"--Denise Levertov
I know this happiness is provisional: the looming presences— great suffering, great fear— withdraw only into peripheral vision: but ineluctable this shimmering of wind in the blue leaves: this flood of stillness widening the lake of sky: this need to dance, this need to kneel: this mystery.
