alchemy 
Pray for what we already have.  —Andrea Gibson

how conditions change
inner & outer weather
if mind has its say,
worrying the bone
restless for something 
other than

choose 
what comes your way 
doves milling sunflower 
seed, the unexpected
diagnosis
a waterfall of difficult
even that

abide in these fragile gifts
or you invite distress
watch the leaf spiral
down     land light
a prayer on the ground
