Face the wall of fire.
Walk through it,
it’s an illusion,
and also real.
If you see a cage,
there is one-
a locked door,
then that’s there.
What’s the worst…
is a good ? to ask.
You can usually
handle it.
WE CREATE
some of this
OURSELVES,
and we can
stand up
to it.
A flower only
stays fresh
so long.
Savor it.
Plant new
seeds
continually,
abundantly.
Flowers want
to grow, too.
