butterflies travel more quickly
than we imagine
what speed is our imagining?

I want to see into the souls
of people in the next century
have them see into mine

Two ways to face the world
There are at least two ways to face and meet the world, and they only incidentally are connected with gender: one seeks to separate and control; the other seeks to be intimate and intertwined.
I think that the second is the larger, more complete picture.
What happens when, after the child bearing and rearing years, the two become more as one? There is work to be done! There is a place for both, as Buber says, and yet we cannot have life without the second.
There is likely something larger than both, and making real that larger is the work we have to do as elders.

What outlives this moment
Conversation outlives
this moment
rings bells
strikes notes
outlives these lives
