The outward work can never be small if the inward one is great, and the outward work can never be great if the inward is small or of little worth.
~ Meister Eckhart
for a brief moment early spring rain ceases,
the sun breaks through
grey sky...
threads of gold
thin enough to pierce the forest,
glitter on dewdrops...
bows to brilliance,
where everything arrogant
takes off its shoes
to stand on holy ground.
