·       What to Remember When Waking

·

In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
coming back to this life from the other
more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world
where
there

What you can plan is too small for you to live.
What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough
for the vitality hidden in your sleep.

To be human is to become visible
while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.
To remember the other world in this world
is to live in your true inheritance.

You are
you are
youwere invited from another and greater night
than the one from which you have just emerged.

Now, looking through the slanting light of the morning window toward the mountain presence of everything that can be
what urgency calls you to your one love?
What shape waits in the seed of you
to grow and spread its branches
against

Is it
In thetrees beyond the house?
In the life you can imagine for yourself?
In the open and lovely white page on the writing desk?
