it happens

you set out -with your door and mind and heart open
and a storm blows in.You batten down the hatches
ride her out/seek safe harbor.Watch the wilde winds.
When calm is restored,you count the damaged.Only one or two lost
Crew still solid,smiling,ready to row on.Silence and focus the only casualties
There is always more to every voyage.We do not wish to rock the boat
nor deny the right of storms to exist.We only wish they might blow somewhere else
We seek peace and tranquility in a storm trooper world.We are @peace
best when in the company of fellow adventurers.We listen to stories
because they extend us.We challenge each other to come up with better
All that is life is a journey.We are on it and in it and for it and all of it is new
Every time we rise to the door and enter-we invite wasp and bee,bird and butterfly
bRoken and beautiful to accept themselves and we who make the night journey
dream by day of the next night's calling!
