Small but mind-blowing
Weird and wonderful life. Just for fun...two different versions of small things being mind-blowing. Here is a poem I wrote in 2008 on an unexpected silent moment on the last morning of a retreat in the mountains near Madrid. Also here: images of the inside of a eukaryotic cell, a cell just like the trillions that make up each one of our bodies.

This morning I went out
in
the blue-black
to beat the
forgotten
wake-up
gong.
The white wake of a tiny, early airplane (invisible, gone) unzipped heaven all the way down to the curl of moon about to set
