Where your #heart is
that’s your #home.
(c)2026
In these times of profound uncertainty, there’s an undercurrent of two parallel emotions.
The first emotion is fear: fear of catching and dying from COVID19; fear of not working; fear of homeschooling your children; fear of increased domestic violence; fear of sliding into suicide; and more.
The second emotion is hope: hope that you’re doing all you need to do not to succumb to the coronavirus; hope that your spouse, relative, friend, or acquaintance will survive this virus; hope that, when a vaccine is found, you’ll still have a job to go back to; hope that this tragic, global pandemic nightmare will end sooner rather than later.
Fears are stories we tell ourselves. Hope lives in the heart. Which one do you nurture?
Please, stay safe. Carry on.

Falling Into Your Eyes
for CKW
Two black birds fly together
as if the shadow and the object
were coming to the same place
A tongue wags from the stump
as if the song of presence
that lament brings speaks
after so much silence
A white star flashes on a dark blue
directly over the heart
and you say
who will come to us
who will give us solace.
