“You have traveled too fast over false ground;
Now your soul has come to take you back.

Take refuge in your senses, open up
To all the small miracles you rushed through.

Become inclined to watch the way of rain
When it falls slow and free.

Imitate the habit of twilight,
Taking time to open the well of color
That fostered the brightness of day.

Draw alongside the silence of stone
Until its calmness can claim you.”

“I read and walked for miles at night along the beach,
writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly
for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness
and change my life. It never crossed my mind
that that person could be me. ”
