i found a butterfly wing.
and then i saw a spider wrapping a bee in its web.
and yesterday i walked past a caterpillar with spikes and odd things on its body.
and today, today, i woke up to my dad cutting the grass.
the answer is, i think, that grace and beauty are performed whether or not we will or sense them.
the least we can do is try to be there. | | |

I TRIED TO MAKE CLOUDS.
i tried to make clouds today
for davy, my friend.
because one time he gave me
a book and wrote kind things on
the inside cover.
i consulted the birds on this matter
they all agreed;
the clouds they prefer
are the ones that smell blue.blue.[blu]
so i gathered broken crayons, wishbones,
and orange peels.
i even got my neighbor to share the
light from the firefly he keeps in a jar.
i mixed them all together
and tied your favorite color to it.
according to my calculations, Venus
is on the left.
so tonight, while the stars are just stars
and there are still honeybees in Africa,
i gave davy clouds, the kind that
smell blue

last night, i saw you and your parents in the food reception line.
your dad took a box of cookies and your mom took carrots.
and this morning, i was thinking about cookies and carrots and the few words I exchanged with your folks. I thought - stef, you - and where you come from, is simply encouraging.
Somethings are difficult to put words to - why certain things bring light and life and a large wind of fresh air - I'm not sure why, but just the person you are, and the people you and place you come from is full of light.
(and I think that often about you; the small and in-between conversations i have with you end up being a large thread of "keep going, light and truth are real")
so you know
