Instructions for Assembling the Miracle
Go light a candle in your darkest room.
If you can't find the candle, find the room.
If you can't find the room, then the candle.
If you go, you know, one of them will come.
It is simple, to pray, to meditate
You need to fly beyond expectation
And all you need is darkness and some light.
This morning I came into my study
Before dawn but the candle was this poem
Disguised as a sheet of plain white paper.
Because I left it here to wait for me
Last night before I slept it was on fire.
It's a small flame I put my hand into
Without pain, with the gold transfiguring
Just everything in sight, which is enough.
Peter Cooley

poor baby -- you work so hard -- and i'm sure your moving pains are the worst moving pains
in the whole history of human beings who have ever moved any where at any time.
how was that?
