How wide the world is. How high. And the stuff of the mind-changed, poofs and scatters like seed and fluff. For such is the tooth to the lion. That it bares and bursts into wishes.
A wish for a certain thing
or just the wish to know
Blowing upon it, candles, a star…What does one desire.
A partner. A freewheeling moon. Or perhaps to hear again as one heard as a child. A music-curious, optimistic, as plain and elusive as the call of the reel permeating a summer night. Expanding squares of laughter and delight. Everyone dancing, just dancing.
-Woolgathering, Patti Smith

Yay Ruth!
