New Structure

3/19/10

Made another move toward

the future I'm dreaming

by not playing softball

with buddies last night

as Spring league started,

initially to heal shoulder

now I see wisdom

of soul claiming time

for my writing pursuits,

imagining foundation for career

different than Building Contractor,

and transforming this land

into potent gathering place,

Mystery has been curling

within me, coming through,

dancing a serpentine rhythm

going from very slow

to quick, radical strikes,

each and every turn

revealing way of being

contrary to linear thought,

more an intuitive impetus

undulating around any obstacles

while seemingly caressing them

though simply passing by,

demonstrating how laying low,

being close to Earth,

stealthy, quiet, at home,

supports creative new structure.
