Elvis said it best: "Now and then, there's a fool such as I."
I'd like to be a fool.
What I mean is that sometimes the best position is that of a fool -- one who has no answers. A fool might even already have the answers; he or she just hasn't articulated it -- to themselves or to the world.
May I be a fool today.
Today, any suffering I create for myself
is an illusion
because it lives
astride the reality that Love is present
in and around me in the universe.
It is in every cell
of every
thing,
even in my breath.
I will know it
by
feel and smell and taste and whispers
in the wind.
It is rich, this love,
this spring,
this ceaseless miracle,
this bubbling well of sustenance.
Can I cup my hands
and offer
a drink?
