i’m a touchy-feely kind of guy
living a love-is-healing type of life.
‘cross my heart hope to die,’
truth is whole—dark AND light.

i’m a smile-instigator
a touch-on-the-shoulder
reassurance-giver.
i’m a big hugger
a look-in-the-eyes
inter-dimensional
every-thing lover.
i’m a two-handed hand-shaker
just to make it longer.
i’m a cheek-kisser
a fleece sweater—
the tighter the better.
i’m a pull-it-in-closer
feel-the-ohms-of-your-
essence spiritual brother.

i’m a human being with flesh.
having difficulty taking this
test, because
i’m not ready
to become
half machine
yet.

so i’ll hold
onto this minute
to boldly be human
as we kickstart
this wisdom in our
home gardens.

distill our wants and
highlight our needs.

rewind <<< repeat:
distill
our wants
and
highlight
our needs.

the lessons
are abundant
for those who seek.
so we move forth
with guidance
revealing what’s
within us…

for the west
for the north
for the east
for the south
the winds of time,
the cycle of life,
explained
in the hymns of a
virus.
