Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
The secret is beyond me. It’s larger than my understanding. And yet I am given this gift to be ever becoming, like a seed, now a tree, tomorrow a leaf. This language of being is stillness, is observation, is sentience beyond reaction. Patience requires I notice the pink clouds at sunrise. Humility insists I listen to others as they describe their lives. These words are the clumsy keys of amazing grace, unlocking doors through which I gladly pass.
