Explore the beauty of unanswered questions and the healing power of poetry. Discover the joy of laughter and astonishment, and the bonds that never break. Keep your distance from those who claim to have all the answers and surround yourself with those who inspire wonder. Marvel at the nourishment of grass and the allegiance of rivers and stones. Let us live with the mysteries too marvelous to comprehend.

Welcome How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads. Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising.
