Beforeword: The moment is not too big, it’s everything that we bring to it. Live in the moment!

The moment is here
Vast, yet held by what we bring
Let us linger close
Stay within the present breath
All the world within our grasp

Afterword: Tanka is a Japanese form of five lines with 5, 7, 5, 7, and 7 syllables—31 in all.

We Are One ©Dawn Minott |a Tanka

Beforeword: We are all connected to the universe, to each other, to God. If only we could live to honor those connections instead of going against the grain.

Bound by threads unseen
we are one with the cosmos
with each other—God
if only we chose to live
in harmony, not discord

Clouds, Frothy as Air©

Lost in wonderment
flying through boundless sky on
clouds frothy as air
bearing weight of steel-winged bird
in peaceful solitude glides
