Some Perspectives

"Gain control over elevator before entering pit."
-Sign I saw on the Elevator at the Ralph's Grocery Store

"Keep a positive attitude. We live in an arbitrary universe."
-Me. I said that, and this:

small things
like mysteries wrapped in enigmas
like a starburst of flowers waiting within a tiny seed
like a galaxy in a universe
or a cell within a body
or a dozen angels dancing on the head of a pin

big things
like mysteries unfolding, enigmas falling like curly ribbons to the floor
like a hillside awash in poppies and purple sage
beside the great blue sea
like the feeling of home within my heart
and trust
and friendship
endurance
and love.
