Dwell in possibility and draw
some of it forward. Coax it

through the narrow passage
that leads to Being, the birth
canal by which it joins the
ranks of those burdened with
the gift of Life. It may – no,
who are we kidding – it will
take more than coaxing. It
will require some pushing,
some pulling, some prodding,
and no small measure of
pain and peril to bring forth
that which wants to be here,
that which here wants to be.
