”Meaning, I would like to say with Robert Bringhurst, is what keeps going. It is what keeps going through us, transforming us as it does so.” Jan Zwicky, Alkibiades’ Love, 241.
The cove is quiet.
I wait. The air is washed clean
of summer dust, bright
now and cold. And clear.
Philosophers start a new
train of thought in this
air. For me, today,
waiting becomes what I do.
It just keeps going.
