Like a photographer of the invisible,
I have spent my life trying to develop
images in the dark room of my heart.
Trying to give a face to the wind, to
give a name to the light, to hold the
irrepressible feel of Oneness until it
reveals its intricate web of connection.
Of course, this is impossible. But this
has been my joy: to squeeze water out
of clouds to offer you a cup.
A Question to Walk With: In conversation with a friend or trusted loved one, discuss one insight that developed over time in the dark room of your heart.
This excerpt is from my book of poems in progress, Notes of Awe.
