awake to revelation

a transcendent reality

the West draws me. . .

I often say:

“Just throw a dart at a map of the West.

Wherever it lands, you can have an amazing adventure. . .”

when I get right down to it, though,

that’s what I feel about every day, wherever I am,

if I’m open to what the moment can release,

there’s a poem, a picture, 

a transcendent reality, always, 

just beyond a blind grasp,

that transcendent reality can be 

just within what we can notice

when we are awake to revelation.
