“packing for the airport”


harried and uptight, i race to be ready to leave town tomorrow morning.

and suddenly susan mentions to me that today is tuesday, not wednesday…

and just as suddenly the heavens open and i feel a sense of grace and expansiveness 

as i fall, effortlessly, into time, 

time created,

time gained,

time effortlessly given 

as if angels were in the room surrounding me and lifting me with their wings.
