Sweet Darkness



When your eyes are tired the world is tired also.



There you can be sure you are not beyond love.

The dark will be your home tonight.





anything or anyone that does not bring you alive

is too small for you.

  • When you make of the dark a womb, what new vision will be born?
  • What is tired in you and in the world? Name everything that is deadening to you. Then make a list of everything that wakes you up and brings you alive. How can you move from the deadening place to the place of aliveness? What would you need to change? To do? To dream?
  • Write a poem about aliveness.
