I have read and re-read this beautiful and haunting poem by one of my favorite poets. Ina.
Sometimes a day won’t really come at all,
you saw the new light but it sticks in the curtain.
To get something done, you are numb and unable.
No weather this day, grey lingers till dusk,
no hour is set for food on the table.
What happens to days that won’t come to life,
that make us believe that nothing is certain
that stay far away from the calendar pages

Somewhere in the lost-not-found.
And then…
Feeling a strong sense of delight. In awe. The things inescapable. Like the beauty of a rising sun, an intrepid step, or a moon-filled night.
Then there is of course the consequence of not following the plan. Any plan. Failing to listen to destiny. My destiny.

I just received the first copy of my self-published book: n e w d i g i t a l s c a p e s – art for posts: the city series. It is a 20 page volume of art, prose and poetry. The print quality is very good. And I am pleased with the final product.
Sometimes it only takes a moment to feel a dream has something to say….
– sleeping in slumber
– waking in peace
an ethereal awareness

– in the present moment
