Resting next to you,
after cleansing in the Hadley Reservoir
I open up to the world like a flower in Spring.
I feel nostalgia for a way of life that’s disappearing: a cup of tea left waiting.
I witness your eyes in mine, travel lifetimes, grow in wisdom
and achieve freedom in the present moment.

– For Curry, Thank you for always reminding me that I belong to a group of people bigger than myself
