for Robert

You can carry them in your head and travel the world with them in your hand To the place where the heart finds rest to the wild range of mesa off to the west to where one is open and where one  feels the possibility of more

Traveling more lightly to where the heart  finds rest in a present that’s real

Time is a sophisticated way to measure persons and hope is the power of clear intention Words are breath and breath is life

We got ready, and showed our house. / The visitors said, ‘You live well. / The slum must be inside you.’
