To say "thank you"
To say "you owe me"
To say "I thought of you"
To say "there is always enough"
To say "I miss you"
To say "there was a sale on strawberries and I know how much you love strawberries"
To say "I got you"
To say "no worries"
To say "we're connected"
To say "this sucks so I got you this thing"
To say "it'll work out"
To say "all I can give, I will"
Gifts
Don’t get caught up
in the neatly wrapped ones
with frilly bows
that show up
as obligatory observations
of special days and seasons.
Turn the focus
of your heart,
if not your eyes,
toward the subtle
but sacred offerings
that seem random
and surprise you
by the joy of their arrival.
These are among
the cosmos’ daily invitation
to recognize and remember
who you are
and whose you are;
and in the depth of this beauty,
you will recognize the rhythm
of a universal code,
singing the tune
that is the gift of you.
