Loiter.  Linger.  Pause

The path is not straight

but curved, scalloped,

circuitous,

embellished with apertures of

time and space

that open when we

look around

for the deeper mysteries

that nestle in the small

unplanned,

unintended moments –

those not tethered to the

carrot and stick of

immediate demand

but rather

waiting to be discovered

in the savoring of

now now now.
