“Complete attention is like unconsciousness.” Simone Weil, quoted in Kotva, Effort and Grace, p. 140
WORK IN PROGRESS
A room at the top
of a hill overlooking
the bay, which changes
color. Trees awash
in change. From this height I am
open to change. Still,
above all this, that
emptiness awaiting words
that need not change. That
fertile Nothingness
grounds my love and myself in
change, eternal change.
