To Honor Galway Kinnell (1927-2014)



On the mountain tonight the full moon

faces the full sun. Now could be the moment

when we fall apart or we become whole.

Our time seems to be up—I think I even hear it stopping.

Then why have we kept up the singing for so long?

Because that’s the sort of determined creature we are.

Before us, our first task is to astonish,

and then, harder by far, to be astonished. 
                       From Astonishment by Galway Kinnell



Write with determination today. 

Watch for coincidences and connections. 

Take chances and find opportunities.

Astound and Astonish.
