A brief meditation on the snow in Portland in December in the year 2008


Stores closed their doors & time slowed.
Boots long unworn finding daylight made
crunching sounds in the streets & light
carved new dimensions into the gentle night.



& also there was whiskey & wind chimes.

It's important to remember that these things really happen.


You have a dream in which
someone painted a painting
you wish you had painted

&

You have another dream
where someone made a book
you wish you had made

&

In another dream it's a song
you wish you had thought up
first

&

You awaken remembering
all three clearly

&

you think Oh so

that's what they were talking about
when they spoke of dreams in such a way

You go outside & the world
seems almost brand new There is magic
in little corners where the light
only touches at toe level & so

you go there & when
you return the world & all
its creatures are better for the journey.
