“Art is perpetual rebirth,
the way we choose to express ourselves,
the way we take directives from God.”

The Astonished Universe

Woodwork

If I could gather all the sadness of the world,
all the sadness inside me,
into a gourd,
I’d shake it once in a while,
and let it sing,
let it remind me of who I used to be,
bless it for what it taught me,
and stare at it lovingly
for not seeping out of its container.
