Blessings Kenn, I'm thinking about you. Stillness is a conscious practice, but with stillness comes answers to questions that forcing solutions could never bring.

Your poems always have so many things churning around in them its hard to decide what to comment on...so i will just close my eyes and point. Ahh, "But its all about the journey I hear" I struggle about this journey, questioning why i am way closer to start than finish. I feel like i'm not "so in control" nor close to making "my mark". The patients i come across at 90 and counting that have the most joy and contentment...quite frankly didn't make a mark on life. But they kept a light-hearted spirit and outlook about life. It really was just about fully living and enjoying each moment. Q: Now how in the heck do i do that. : ) Now onto the good stuff…your poem.

I struggle about this journey, questioning why i am way closer to start than finish. I feel like i’m not “so in control” nor close to making “my mark”.

Q: Now how in the heck do i do that. : )

A Measuring Worm

This yellow striped green
Catepillar, climbing up
The steep window screen,

Constantly (for lack
of a full set of legs) keeps
humping up his back.

It’s as if he sent
By a sort of semaphore
Dark omegas meant

To warn of Last Things.
Although he doesn’t know it,
He will soon have wings,

And I, too, don’t know
Toward what undreamt condition
Inch by inch I go.

—-Richard Wilbur
