Suffering and Sustenance


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?

Spring is springing here in Yankee-land. My daffodils and Lombardy Poplar trees are sprouting leaves!
