sometimes
we hold on too long
believing in that which we see
when in reality
everything worth knowing
lives underneath
the one stream
where junipers come to fruition
with devotion and care
we dare
to sit in silence
disrupting
the status quo fanfare
for the love built
out of the actions we take and share

Under the one stream. There must be countless things to learn. I’m definitely in for sitting back and letting it roll over me for a while. Thanks for this poem, Jeff.

You’re so very welcome. Wish I could put my feet in the river a few days and just wait to see what wisdom arrived. Perhaps in October a long weekend will happen.
