Take Time

My friends Kirsten and Rick in Kauai, Hawaii,

the day before their wedding, June 26th, 2005.

Take Time

11/10/09

The space between

life's big events

is discovery arena

where presence lives

in subtle gestures

and beautiful nuance

so often overlooked,

it's allowing for

extended lingering moments

as new perspective

finds inside lightness

encountering the feelings

which encourage understanding,

do not mistake

this with laziness,

procrastination and such,

more, it's percolation,

waiting for ingredients

that show direction

into richer world

of our creation,

never experienced, seen,

if headlong pursuit

keeps things whizzing

too fast, blurring

our life here,

not really lived,

remembered, until choosing

to take time.
