The Answer
This must be the answer. The milky way is your breath. You are made of starlight from so far away it only now arrives in your body. Barefoot, wriggling your toes in wet moss at midnight, you unname the creatures. Your chest encircles the glistening darkness. Having been veiled, you unveil, and having dreamt, you undream the past and future. Thoughts vanish in a wild holy silence. This is your bewildering religion. Opening your palms to receive the sky, you hold all the invisible worlds so weightlessly, delightfully uncertain and possible. At last you have something to give. Photo: Wally Pacholka
