From the ibis' beak

You are always at the zero point, the “I am,” of infinite possibilities. The only thing stopping you from achieving anything is your mind. Think of anything you want to achieve and devotedly act as if it has already happened. The universe always fulfills exactly what you want with all your heart.


Many conceive of  balance as a static thing akin to a scale with two equal weights in its pans. But a more accurate picture of balance is the tightrope walker poised on a rope high above a rapt audience. Only she knows how much she teeters from side to side to move from one end of the rope to the other. This is a dynamic conception of balance.


At the edge of spring,
The daffodils play squash
By the skating ring
Where couples wash
Their fervent desires
In a laundering fight
With hummingbird gyres—
A singed winged rite.
