Sometimes it's just getting up early enough
to watch the first shades of dark blue brush across the sky.
Something deeply stirring about that.

Sometimes it's unexpected gestures of affection
that were not sought...
or given so instinctually
that you were not aware of them.

Sometimes, it's writing a poem
~only if the words are coming from somewhere else...
As if something is flowing through you,
a river of emotion you can physically feel
that flows through your being.

But it is always so unexpected.
So much that I am constantly aware now.
My senses hightened. Waiting for that unexpected moment.

When something deeper will reach out
and engulf me
and give my life,
and all my actions,
however small, a deeper
and all encompassing context
...on a daily basis.

So say a prayer for me. And for yourself.
