All Tempest - Harold Witter Bynner
All tempest has,
like a naval,
a hole in its middle
though which a gull can fly
in silence.
The Way In - Linda Hogan
Sometimes the way to milk and honey is through the body. Sometimes the way in is a song. But there are three ways in the world: dangerous, wounding and beauty. To enter stone, be water. To rise through the hard earth, be plant, desiring sunlight, believing in water. To enter fire, be dry. To enter life, be food.
