My Life, My Soul

Ten years ago.....
I turned my face for a moment
and it became my life.

Sometimes I go about pitying myself,
and all along
my soul is being blown by great winds across the sky.

    Dear Meredith,

    Thank you for this reminder that anything can happen in the turn of a moment.

    I love the feeling of vast wild windiness that lifts me up in this prayer; it brings to mind Rilke's winds of homecoming that Kathleen invited to blow through recently.

    love, Christy

    Zach posted on choice vs. freewill at Monakhos.our beautiful post expresses far more appropiately what I meant in my comment. There's freedom is in knowing that we're not in control, if you don't take the little self too seriously.
