A poem on staying generous and wide awake, even in difficult times.

When the well (bone dry) needs filling — there is only one choice: create lushness, tend to joy. Resist the impulse to withdraw, instead retreat only to fill your cup not into cave or silent isolation. Stay wildly generous, even when hard to find places to draw from.
Reach beyond edge of what is clarified — dip into mystery where light has yet to shine. Carve realization here: words flowing loosely like dangling jewels or soft paws of a sleeping animal.
The body breathes itself through each portal unless stuck, atrophied resembling this generation of slumber. Like a great sleeping bear step awake into the sacred. Call upon the barefoot ones gone before — bringing us to the other shore of creation.
Be a balm beyond what is understood whole, wild, freely offering each thing a holy gesture drenched in love.
