I awaken at 7am and immediately go into overthink, that place where I so often find myself, spinning out the issues of the day, of the week, of the moment. Those crazy making stories that are my life. And I picture your face, sideways on a pillow with a pale blue cover, eyes lightly closed to the encroaching light of today. And you look so peaceful, angelic actually with your softly smiling mouth, that I was so hungry for last night and I wonder if you’re dreaming of me.

when every moment has meaning
it is the space between that is pregnant
with opportunity for change
it is how we interpret and react
that has significance in the now

looking for new meanings and outcomes
that are not predicated on how things have been
but are open and optimistic about tomorrow
this reality truly amazes me
as a new chapter opens up
old “truths” can fade away
Everything is Nothing but Everything
