SNEAK  OF  LIGHT

 
Insight sometimes seems
to come like a turning on of
a light at 2:45 in the morning –
suddenly – snap – switch –
but on looking back, it might
be  the result of a hurt -
or personal stupidity or
laziness – too many things
not working – and something
new is needed and then the
sneak of light – then INSIGHT.

BAD  TUESDAY

 

Great big blue skies -
like today, September 11, 2021,
twenty years after the horror –
after the losses of so many that day –
husbands, wives, children, parents,
pilots, air line attendants,
fire fighters, friends, a cousin, a
neighbor, a priest, a stranger.
 
Like Bad Friday – becoming
Good Friday – it takes love and
time and a change in thinking
for a Bad Tuesday to become
a Good Tuesday – Bursting
Twin Towers becoming like
a new type of crucifix in a dark
sky - with new knowings.
