I walk
along lonely trails
desolate footpaths, where my heart
trades
in an economy of grief
and despair
these two feelings
come without thought or conception
relegating needs to another
mist-covered
field
a place to lay down our weights
and
pick up the threads of love, lingering
in the shade
where
they continue to take shape

My Dearest Friends,
Beginning next week, and continuing for the remainder of this calendar year, I am traveling within and without the country. The travel combined with my ever iterating and changing professional life will demand more of me, which means I will be less active here going forward. I will still visit your sites, and read your beautiful poetry and writings, however, it will be less often. I will also post less often.
I am choosing to pause, possibly indefinitely, the weekly prompt. As to next year’s collaborative project, I am still very passionate about making this happen, yet at this time, cannot write here, when, or how that will go next year; know that when I know, you will too.
Please know I am very well; all of the changes are positive, and I am very excited about them, though, paradoxically, I am sad about taking more time away from this space. This is how life goes, though, we never know what we will be gifted, and when we are open to all of life’s gifts, we walk into them with open arms.
I will update you here as my schedule and professional life continue to take shape in the coming months.
All my love and blessings,
Jeff
