The space between us
lightly hold:
this fertile ground
does not exist
until our circles overlap

here was always
awaiting us to draw close
this third person
of us
itching to spring out and say
You got me!

Mixed in with bumping into each other
of persons and ideas
mixed with emergence out of the group
mixed with the grinding of rough edges
there also arises from many people
complex, diverse, and conflicting
an environment of
—proliferating variability—
safe place to try
to spout out
new ideas
useless skills
sharing fun creating
fun makes things new

See the tree branches: the ones who are providing room for leaves to catch wind and sun, the ones who are promoting the life of the tree, these get the sap, these get the growth, buds become shoots, become twigs, become limbs, become branches.

Friend, in what shape will you show up today?
Do not even ask that, just be ready.
How do I ready myself?
Open. Without expectation. Engage your day.
