a bumper sticker moment

driving home from the grocery store
having bought dry ice
to save the food in the dying frig
(second one this year \o.0/)

earbuds in
getting psyched for the concert tonight
(car stereo's busted, again)

traffic light
I notice the car in front of me
small bumper sticker

faith:verb

while linkin park screams
"I won't waste myself on you"

Ah! so perfect :)
Thank You! Universe
your timing was exquisite, as always

pounding pulse

Oh god! there is nothing like feeling alive.

Maker of All Things, Even Healings
(Mary Oliver, Red Bird)

All night
under the pines
the fox
moves through the darkness
with a mouthful of teeth
and a reputation for death
which it deserves.
In the spicy
villages of mice
he is famous,
his nose
in the grass
is like an earthquake,
his feet
on the path
is a message so absolute
that the mouse, hearing it,
makes himself
as small as he can
as he sits silent
or, trembling, goes on
hunting among tthe grasses
for the ripe seeds.
Maker of All things
including appetite,
including stealth,
including the fear that makes
all of us, sometime or other,
flee for the sake
of our small and precious lives,
let me abide in your shadow --
let me hold on
to the edge of your robe
as you determine
what you must let be lost
and what will be saved.
