“You think you are alone
but you're not
we are here
and a million others too
all scared
all confused
all worried it might never change
but here is the big secret
the one they don't tell you
you're doing it right
just by living,
and everything
will be okay.”

“Keep your kingdoms
give me only
the open road
the stars in the sky
the smell of a campfire
around the next bend
and I will be as rich as any king.”

“She took stamps
from the drawer in the kitchen
her father saw but didn't say
they drove
and she watched out the window
fingering them carefully
in her pocket
together they climbed the grassy hill
up to the acorn tree
stopping at a rock
perfectly carved
with a woman's name -
for a long time
and a careful time
she looked and thought
but never cried.
"Papa?"
she finally said,
"How many stamps
does it take to reach heaven?"
"One will do,
my love -"
And so,
she put one stamp on
and placed one inside
and left the letter
by her mother's side.”
