Choosing to Pay Attention.

April 18, 2014 /
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeks in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch 
a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway 
into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.
