The path to the front door is lined with plantings of apprehensions, excitements and forget-me-nots
Forgotten or not?
Stranger or friend?
Ignored or embraced?
Resented or forgiven?
 
What will the dog say when awakened to my presence?
Bark as aroused by an intruder or bound tail in hand with eyes of delight?
And what of the door, does she know my name,

I visited an old friend this week 
It’s been a while 
The conversation started out with the usual … 
How’s it been? 
What have you been up to? 
What’s new? 
What’s taken you so long?

Called out, thrust forward
No choice, it’s compelling 
The game says “you’re it�. 
 
Sometimes the team picks the leader 
Trusted, […]

 ”What if we discover that our present way of life is irreconcilable with our vocation to become fully human?” Paulo Freire 
What if you were to stand trial for crimes against your own soul?
How would you plead?
For wearing a face that does not belong to you?
For violating your heart in the name of another?
For being silent; intimidated by convenience […]

I was kissed by the rising sun
I climbed a mountain, stood on its crown and raised my arms in surrender
I rode a Harley one thousand miles
I sailed to the edge of the world where the land lost its sight
I walked on golden sands and swam in a symphony of tropical colour
I mounted on eagles wings […]
