I Ask the Possible

I Ask the Possible

I ask the possible: love me forever.
Love me with all desire
Love me with the single-mindedness
of your most precious gift.

When the world has stretched open
its heart, its spirit
and put me into your arms
hold me
beside, underneath,
and on top of you
and keep me there.

Love me every night
Love me with the fullness
of every thought
that strays to me, our fullness
and satisfaction together.

Do not discard this.

Love me not out of the
weight of time
but the fullness of your heart
and spirit
Love me not as a job
but as your avocation
your bliss
the gift we have given
each other.

Love me for the meaning
of who we are
and have been together
Love me for each beautiful
precious memory
and for the potential
within us
and our days together
for every memory to come.

Love me in a new place
in a place not of
what has been known before
but out of what we know
is possible.
Love me each day
not to counsel the past
but to LIVE the present
and the future

Love me for the future
and I will make
the possible
a simple act
by loving you, loving you as I do.

"We are in need of a reflective activism born out of humility, not arrogance. Reflection, with deep time spent in the consideration of others, opens the door to becoming a compassionate participant in the world."

blog

blog,
i am sad. i don't think anyone reads this anymore (as i don't write this anymore), but that's not why i'm sad. i'm sad because i try to do all the right things, and i don't know where it leads me.

i'm reading the book the hero within because my therapist recommended it. i wrote the first 5 pages of a novel tonight for class. i tried to capture what i'm going through. i guess in many ways it's the feelings of not feeling in control of your life, of facing the unexpected, in its good and its very bad and scary.

i don't know what's going to happen, blog. i only hope i can find enough mellow music and chex cereal to get me through it. and that eventually, i'll come to an unstuck place where i want to go on a walk outside. if i can get to that place, i know i'll exactly where i'll go. for today.
