In this time as I come closer
to considering my heart’s desire,
I notice that it hasn’t changed,
though it has been completely redefined,
for I always wanted
to pull substance straight out of the air,
to make things manifest,
I wanted magic, and wanted, too, to fly

And in living life in Spirit,
every thing I do
pulls substance out of presence,
finds riches
in the qualities that Life entails,
which I can find with my attention
and bring forth with my affection
(another thing I find is always there)

And as for flying,
what greater freedom is there
than to move from grace to grace,
from joy to joy? – apprenticed to bring forth
the fruits of Love
in the tender healing acts of every day.
