Footprints in the Windsm # 2001

leap than 300 milliseconds

Converse is a habitat of
In converse we hear ourselves think
we bounce our thinkings together
our individual souls grow
and find flowing among them Spirit
converse is a habitat of Spirit, God, change

In the betweens, stories, and changes
That of God is in the betweens
perhaps and in the stories
