if Valentines day was a life and not a day….
because of its speechless improbability
this miracle of green emerging soft
so shyly from the damp dark
because it feeds equally on sun and rain
relishing both always reaching
to unite heaven and earth
beacause of is powers of alchemy
transmuting the rot of all passing things
into colors beyond imagination
because when the last color falls
and the stems begin to bend in mourning
the perfume will still fill the room
the sweetness of spring will still linger
on the gardeners’ fingers

Jeff, I connected this poem to your images of Anna. “Why” is the underlying question for all life. For me, you’ve given some glimpses into “why” in your poem. In the first stanza and last, I substituted “because” with “be”. The middle two I read as “cause”. It was fun to explore your writing in this vein, and see that ” the sweetness of spring will still linger on (Anna’s) fingers.” Thank you for sharing your thought textures in images and words.
jeffrey hope all is OK out your way. we still need to hit tahoe slopes, already cancelled on trip due to lack of snow. try again in march. we also bit the bullet and have moved to 3920 N LSD. small 15 story co-op built in 1929.

Beautiful , per usual. Have been in a slump and can’t seem to get the pen to move!
Will you be attending Sacred World Assembly or have to completed that?

Thanks Paula- I’m planning on going to SWA, though as usual, I’m wavering (“is this the right path, etc, etc…) Seems to be part of my processing system. You going?
