See What Isn’t There, Then Put it There

            1.   Creating and entertaining fantasies is one of the best

                  ways I know to acknowledge what I want!

            2.   It’s a mistake not to know what you want. Some truly

                  may not know and others are embarrassed to say. Wake

                  up. Don’t be embarrassed.

            3.   Suppose you saw The Horse Whisperer starring Robert

                  Redford, and found out you love horses. In a way you

                  never knew.

            4.   So how do you imagine yourself in a life with a horse--

                  even if you’ve seldom been near one?

            5.   Let it fly. Ride one like the wind or nurture a sick one

                  back to life—all in your mind.

            6.   Own the feeling. After all, this is you, what you care

                  about. It’s your creation, bubbled up within. You can’t

                  fake or deny that!

            7.   Make your plan. Write an email. Place your phone call.

                  get in touch with somebody to take the next step. Get to

                  know a horse!

Leaf

Sitting still

in the corner chair

just past dawn

listening—the window

wide open—

buoyant on the birds’ frolics.

One flew in, pecked me

on my left earlobe

and whispered

“come with me.”

I did and she propped me

up on a dew-dropped leaf

to spritely waves

on the morning’s breeze,

whereupon I spent the day,

and when I returned home,

was surprised to hear

my love’s sweet query:

your journey . . . tell me,

how was it?
