A Good Life
is Mostly
Coming Home
begin
Can there ever be a joining
of these two planes
of the places where we find ourselves
and those places
where we find each other?
Anywhere that I have found myself,
aloneness has been the communicator.
No matter how loud,
quiet has been the medium
stillness the answer
to the unspoken
If there is a binding,
some thing to hold us together
it is that no matter
the time or space between —
A good life
is mostly coming home.
