Tuesday Night at The Shelter
Lea puts down her meager
belongings next to a cot
& looks ‘round at the others
seeking a warming lifeline.
She gets needed food & sleep
under protective eyes of
station staff—some just a few
paydays from needing cots too.

To practice the Art of Peace, you must:
Calm the spirit and return to the source. Cleanse the body and spirit by removing all malice, selfishness, and desire.
Be ever-grateful for the gifts received from the universe, your family, Mother Nature, and your fellow human beings.” - Morihei Ueshiba

Beneath the
frolic of words
Above the
mush of verse
was a hymn
without a
language’s syntax
you’d have heard
had you let it in
through your breath

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.
