"I touched the thread and wept." - Mary Oliver
If you find yourself in the maze of Life
be sure to reach deep into your pocket
for the spool of red thread one always carries.
Always turn Right (or always turn Left).
Neither way is preferred
but consistency will save your life.
Look how the flight of Starlings
rotates together in the air
wingtip to beating wingtip.
Upon landing in a grove of trees
the chatter of success
dominates their avian Conversation.
When You arrive in the center
and have no one to talk with
shed a tear and let go of the thread.
