Discovering the world takes patience.

Discovering ourselves takes courage.

"When you make the finding yourself -
even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light -
you'll never forget it."

Carl Sagan

NOW I AM AS A STAR-FLOWER

Joan Mas

Now I am as a star-flower, white,

In the dark crevice of your arm.

O, my love- I am thinking, do you

Know, blood has a dark flowing.

That like a river, it has its own

Sea. Finally. To be received into.

And that this is how I feel, when

I am with you and when I am not

With you. Like a river, flowing

Iinto a sea. So I am part of

The movement of you,

The flow and ebb.

Forever.

WE
