waiting for nightfall; climbing the steps to the old roof garden; angels dancing on the head of a pin.
waiting for nightfall; climbing the steps to the old roof garden; angels dancing on the head of a pin.
the fountain sealed; the fragrance of sweet rose tulsi tea; swimming with undines.
Johnny Appleseed: eyelids fluttering open; a blanket of stars.
tossing a pebble at the window to wake her up; understanding what the whale said; hammering the gold.
delicious succulence; dreams of dead people; tango in winter.
picking the right persimmon; the sound of violins coming from the woods; a thousand faces before you.
what was under the bark; lights of the town twinkling in the valley below; a good cry.
finding just the right fabric; light as a feather; a carpet bag that has everything you need inside it.
looking out the train window; moonbeams solidifying; burrowing into the sand.
swept off your feet by irises; doing it slowly; a candlelight bath during a blizzard.
the boat waiting in the mist; sheltering the horses before the snow falls; remembering those fields of ripe strawberries.
the wheel of fortune; releasing everything that no longer matters; avoiding the hornet’s nest.
heading south; the dog on the threshold; retreating to your hut in the desert.
dawn in the desert; a seer reading your palm; pausing during a race to pick up the golden apple.
flying above the weather; opportunity knocking on your door; playful polar bears.
finding the key; dozens of cakes in the village store window; a mathematical truth.
the dense fog lifting; singing your heart out; visited by a friendly púka.
after it’s all over; peering through a hedge of hazelnut; swept downstream by the blue water babies.
stained glass windows; watching the regatta from the hotel window; a seed looking up at the snow-covered earth.
serenity; pages in the illuminated manuscript mysteriously turning; time travel.
