just enjoy the show
It’s a thrill to say No.
The way it smothers
everything that beckons―
Any baby in a crib
will meet No’s palm
on its mouth.
And nothing sweet
can ever happen
―
to No―
who holds your tongue captive
behind your teeth, whose breath
whets the edge
―
of the guillotine―
N, head of Team Nothing,
and anti-ovum O.
And so the pit can never
engender
―
the cherry―
in No, who has drilled a hole
inside your body―
No.
Say it out loud.
Why do you love the hole
No makes.

According to the Gospel of Yes by Dana Levin
(Photos by Charlie Doane Branford, CT)
so a big piece of walking a spiritual path,
is the braving of the wilderness,
the nonsense of life,
accepting the madness,
transforming through the dullness
and then creating
creating
creating…
it just takes time
you’re not losing ground
God has not left the planet…
there’s friction at the heart of the work
the soul work that rubs one raw
shiny
authentic
– true
it’s ok to rest,
take a minute when you are not “on”
walking into the world
takes a certain panache
but if you’d like for just this one day
leave your plume of feathers on the kitchen table
and
do not cover your head…
Beauty,
Rev. Donna Knutson
Have you ever met a blade of grass that didn’t emphatically say, “Yes!” to even the soles of your feet?
It’s the same with all the other elements.
You just have to show up,
The Universe
