listen while you read
Below paved earth,
on platforms,
in carriages:
a man rioted
in stripes,
shirt, jacket, tie,
radiates
in all directions.
Another man,
sheathed in yellow silk,
soft yellow shoes,
ebony skin,
glows
like a paper lantern.
The arms
of a long-bearded man
are sleeved
in tattoos of eyes,
flowers, startled faces,
horned figures.
Among others,
in these light
and dark tunnels,
where the outer world
transits in many masks,
moods and costumes
through the City's
under world.
New York City,
Under~ground
When in your travels through life have you met naturally incandescent people? What ones are part of your life or work now? How do you feel around them? What do they evoke in you? And what is it that sets
you alight, aglow, in visible ways?
.
Seek out all beaconers of wellbeing. Bask in their company. Let their luster feed yours. And see what happens when
you're greatly beaconing through your day, through the world. How it changes the molecules.
