miracles only blossom
from preparation
and preparation develops
from a choreography
where the dancers
are a multitude of desires
who in patient discipline,
with love and with
humble recognition
of the limits of language and symbol,
discover and express the ubiquity of hidden things
pointing the way.
Each of us an intervention
of the Other
each of us a miracle
of presence defying
recognition, pointing the way
improvising without choreography
in fearless moments.
Who I'd like to meet:
skeptical romantics, baloonists, folks who like to craft

Hey Aaron, or Aharon, or whatever you're calling yourself....I can only imagine you telling people your name in the drunken streets of Baton Rouge. Thought I'd drop a line...it's been awhile...I hope you're maintaining your charming innocent demeanor...it's hard to do in South Louisiana....I've managed, though....Let's go to see a Cajun band sometimes, eh?
