Poem: For Warmth
Winter 2001
I hold my face in my two hands.
No, I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands
to keep the loneliness warm—
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger. 🪡

America reveals her heartbreaking contradictions: the immense love of a family ripped apart by inhumane policies, and the quiet humanity of an officer who, while he did not choose this pain, is forced to stand in its presence.
It is a portrait of injustice and also a portrait of conscience.

Each time you look at a tangerine, you can see deeply into it.
You can see everything in the universe in one tangerine.
When you peel it and smell it, it’s wonderful.
You can take your time eating a tangerine and be very happy.”

When we find ourselves in the place to receive truth, it’s there for us. All that is required is to drop any pre-conceived opinion and entertain another idea.
If it’s not what you expected, at least investigate the possibility. @hcrichardson.bsky.social shines a light into the dark for us.

If your mind is agitated you will find agitation everywhere.
So first find peace within and you will see this inner peace reflected everywhere else."

Peace is not in the wet coolness of the forests
or in the imposing summit of the mountains
or in the interior of the caves.
The peace you seek is in the same place where you inhabit your turmoil and your suffering.

November steals light.
Its groaning,
overstuffed table force-feeding December’s mandatory twinkle. Sticky

A buffer for the hangover
January brings,
when we huddle & low,
hay damp
in our shuttered mangers,
pockets emptied
of savings & saviors
