“What I’m saying is, if you walk around with your nose in the air, you’re going to end up flat on your face. But if you’re content to be simply yourself, you will become more than yourself.” [Luke 14:11, The Message] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
even a frozen shape
womb-like
carries possibilities
of openings, difference,
and hope.
to naked eye
all is not what it seems
yeast or seed
working their miracle
beyond every effort
to pin down
that which is elusive
spreading
in multiple directions
mirroring
shaping up
pushing its own way
crossing and re-crossing boundaries
transgressing
beyond and below
across and above.
