Because I was feeling all goo-ey from visiting my good friends in Utah, I thought I’d share one morning’s thoughts with you.  I woke up on Saturday needing to need and desiring to desire.  It felt a lot like… being alive; and being alive for just that purpose.  In SLC, Utah you get to sleep in a little because the sun takes a few extra minutes to climb the eastern mountain range.  Or you can wake up early and stand outside stupefied by the sights. I chose the latter.

This one is for my SLC friends who sleep in…  Get up!

Forgotten chunk of paintless sky softening violent peaks

And dreaming of the color-kiss when the sun will rise

An extra half-spin of the clock-face to sleep or to watch

- whichever

Both divine in their own needful right

saying good bye to last night

The Pause.  The Pause.

A demi-hour of deep

Daring me to live in the open

- exposed

And to live for just one blazing day

Until day’s death.

Prediction: Tomorrow’s Ream of Paper post will resume the theme of contentment, featuring a parable.
