March 17, 2014 (I was 69)
Religions lay away days of the year
to commemorate their saints and saintly events
Governments for their leaders and victories
Families honor their comings and goings
In this way we give meaning to each day
just in case there is nothing happening now
Of course there is a now worthy of note
To recognize it is merely to hold it like a flower
Hold it like the breath between breaths
Let its bouquet inspire a complexity
to which master vintners can only dream
It is a fragrance and taste that touches
an idea that embraces all my ideas
and registers them in the moment that is present
That recognition is ever available and always enough
