“Life is always poised for flight. From a distance it looks still, silhouetted against the bright sky or the dark ground; but up close it is flitting this way and that, as if displaying to the world that at every moment its perpetual readiness to take off in any of a thousand directions.”
~ Jonathan Weinter, The Beak of the Finch

Being iridescent —
being fans of feathers
and holding your wings to the sun…
Running on impulse —
kicking up your heels
as you find a path that is yours
out of this
constantly changing conundrum.
Looking at your reflection
in their shifting eyes.
Being of a Universe
that is expanding.
Being true to yourself
and living
just to know what that means.Searching for a soul
that is everywhere,
and cannot be named.
that is everywhere,
and cannot be named.
Two legs…walking,
rising to meet gravity…
Spreading your wings
to take flight —
