but everything is transformed

sometimes at that moment

a wave

of light breaks into our darkness

-paul tillich

thought process

our closest family

"We have been through everything together.

As if we were all wrapped up in one another's lives,

we have a relationship with others that is timeless

and extraordinarily profound. In this vision

the whole world becomes our closest family."

heaven

outside tonight: lime blossoms,

lavender, wisteria,

and a shower of roses

there and back

The loud plane seems for a moment to deny

the reality of the clouds and of the sky, by its direction,

its noise, and its pretended strength. 

The silence of the sky

remains when the plane has gone.

The tranquillity of the clouds will remain
when the plane has fallen apart.

It is the silence of the world that is real.

Our noise, our business, our purposes...our statements

about our purposes, our business, and our noise:
these are the illusion.
