Saint Junipero Serra

Sometimes the darkness looms
tall and too dark to see
what’s in front of you
is unknown
the night is enveloped 
with dread and anticipation
about what you feel coming
yet you must hold faith
that you will not fall,
instead you will be held
you must keep looking up 
to float above it all
like the clouds
lifted and in motion
in constant dance
with the cosmos
just take a deep breath
inhaling the fresh air
of dusk
in a time of Pandemic.

Then we feel it tugging at us like a small, lost child afraid to speak amidst all the commotion but we found it.  Curled in a ball under the blankets a heavy heart sinking instead of beating filling with grief and pain friends who have passed, only the diminishing past exists. My heart holds the weight of the world,  client stories of trauma,  hearing cries of children be hurt, billions of animals  being burned this world can be so cruel. There’s a pillage  of the Earth. To go on everyday it takes calcification to continue on despite it all  but it hardens turning the softest  flesh  to rock. On this day of...
