Heart

Glimpsing a better future,

I follow my heart; and it, wisely,

teaches my son how to recognize his goals

and how to perceive distractions as distractions.

— Meanwhile, I, distracted,

ask myself: this heart, to whom does it belong?

Can the unknown be glimpsed?

What is my goal?

Role

Books are really fascinating. They can link me to the most brilliant minds. Put me in front of all sorts of human emotion. Tragedies, philosophies and forgotten gods that can teach so much. I start to make sense of this nonsense I've got used to see. Human history is at my hands, I can feel its weight and barbs. I can absorb ancient knowledge and modern science. And find myself amongst all these theories, languages, paradoxes, Literature, conflicts, modes of existence. I think I'm starting to understand , yes, I am! I'm as important as the protagonist of an epic story. And as insignificant as a speck of dust in an old place. I'm coming to realize where science leads or leads not. What wisdom teaches or teaches not. What I am — if anything at all. Losing myself surrounded by of all this. Rightful citizen, guiding father, grateful son. Dutiful worker, loving husband. Peaceful distress. Photo: Michelle Ress

Daybreak

Unfamiliar place, somewhere dark.  A cold touch reveals a gentle breeze flowing in.  What is more, it hints at where to look for myself. More is coming. A faint feeling. This time elsewhere. The numbness is finally giving in. There is some pressure and warmth now. Sensation's resumed, if only timidly, bringing a body into existence. I look into that window, through it, only to find that breeze once again. The darkness lessens and gives way to a dim light. It's daybreak.  Only now can I fully wonder who I am.

Hummingbird

When thoughts rise and take place, I come to think, I come to see, Spring up, before me! A hummingbird, I say! In front of me, it is. It can fly in the air, can't it? Front or back, air or void, I can't really tell. Fly so high! Swoop down again! I can picture it from any angle! That little bird and me: it's a tangle. The thought is now done with. I can't help but leave this world. Photo: Frank Cone
