Especially the smelly
We need to draw near to all in our community—especially to the bitter, the smelly, and the rude.

Footprints in the Windsm # 2530
We are all, each & all, being drawn, smoke
To the tipi’s top opening
To our Omega point, the point beyond our last hot chocolate together
All of us
Each of us
Young, old, all of life drawn
Thro’ to what’s on the other “side,”
(Mired as it is in beliefs and dogmas)
Just as whatever thro’ brings all of us to the same pass,
Shows us we are all pink and greening inside, we all ooze some liquid when wounded, we these plant & animal life forms.So I know when you speak young & green to me & I speak old & silver & in need of polish to you
We speak and can hear—can I say—
Hear the pulsebeat of the matter
Come thro’ all the else.208-2026
