What's Lurking

It is a whisper. You turn somewhere,

hall, street, some great event: the stars

or the lights hold; your next step waits you

and the firm world waits - but

there is a whisper.You always live so,

a being that receives . . .  William Stafford

Listen to the whispers. Something's waiting for exploration.

Hear ideas and notions lurking in the background of your mind. They flash by a corner of the eye. What will it take to let one or two race out and pounce like a Cheetah?

Go hunting for:

A hunch

An impulse

A realization

An indulgence

What animal or bird might represent your notions?
