the white fire of a great mystery


painting: victor panchenko


"I want to believe I am looking
into the white fire of a great mystery.
I want to believe that the imperfections are nothing —
that the light is everything — that it is more than the sum
of each flawed blossom rising and fading. And I do."

an early morning drive

a few mornings ago, we found ourselves racing across the southern ontario landscape . . . .

the old milk box

this little door is where the milk for this home of mine was delivered.
when i moved in, the post man would put my post in there . . .
now it is sealed up . . . .

this tiny petalled whiteness . . .

Give in to it. "

reed reflections . . .

"and have you ever felt for anything 
such wild love-- 
do you think there is anywhere, in any language, 
a word billowing enough 
for the pleasure 

that fills you, 
as the sun 
reaches out, 
as it warms you ..."
