"The Everything and Nothing of Money"
To remember you so vividly, dancing there, with sweet champagne pulsing through your veins . . .to know what it's like to feel another's presence pulsing through mine.
And each time, looking forward to popping that enchanted cork with you and really disappearing from the world as we knew it—
wondering if we would ever return.

Breaking the Promise
"I remember once kissing you, your face lit by northern stars. Promising to grow old with you, and now so simply breaking the promise."
Why do I travel?
"I travel to be replenished with beauty, for travel makes the beauty of this world seem like a Christmas that never ends."
Who will you be, my Little Ones?
"Will you dance for the fires of your youth and run at midnight to water's edge, diving into summer's heat? Will you ride a wild mare to any thought or dream or love of your making? Will you seek the artistry of your own infatuations and explore all the reckless and eccentric corners of your own impetuous world?"

These moments cascade upon one another
Here at shepherd's dusk, in a valley without echo, I listen for you. With a frayed longing, I hear your shadow voice whispering within me from far away.
I grasp at what is left of this husky sun lying golden upon the upper meadows of lodge pole and bear grass.
I gather the last remnants of the evening's breeze, so cool and lazy within my arms, feeling it curl up like a small and innocent kitten.
And I see that behind a cloak of clouds, dalliance suits the canting moon.
Suddenly I do not wish to lose another moment,
And I covet all pristine light.

When do you become a man?
“When do you become a man? Becoming a man means doing the right thing even though it may be hard or difficult. Boys do what is easiest. A man does what is right, whether easy or not.”

Memories of You
"Let my memories of you be like water on the moon. A beautiful impossibility-but allowing me to sleep and dream of infinite beginnings rather than Othello endings."
