When you get up at 5 a.m.,and you’re asking the universe for an answer to your problem, and you wonder if anyone at all is listening, and you look out the window, and this.

You are always heard, by somebody, somewhere, in this realm or some other. Never doubt it for a second. You just have to ask.

Life Is a Gift

It’s a blue-sky day,
one of those
beauteous blue-full,
joyously jocular,
splendidly splashy,
exceptional days –
I long to shout
LIFE IS A GIFT
in unmistakable
letters across the
blue shiny yonder,
to imprint them
indelibly on your
mind, so you’ll –

Remember when
the dark clouds roll
in, on a day when
life feels pissy and
oh so problematic,
to take a deep breath,
and close your eyes,
and gently pull the
gray gloom aside,
to see those big
oh so true words
I etched on blue
for you, so that
you’d never forget –

Life is a gift.
