The talented and deeply committed poet — Judi Van Gorder — wrote a flattering response piece to Friday’s gate(less):

How it all works

I’ll shut up now and allow her to speak:

 Thank You Juris

Today's walk,
though I've never been there,
was on familiar ground.
A raked path,
a morning moon,
a bushy tailed squirrel confronting
a guardian crow,
a ponderence of things to come,
a closed gate I will soon open,
a village I could never imagine,
and one of many graveyards
in which I'd love to rest one day.
I remember climbing through 
the hole in the fence,
though it seemed smaller then,
unobstructed by fog.
The gate is open now
and I will explore new paths.
                     ~~Judi Van Gorder

 

Inspired by a journey from thegateless.org

I was touched.

Much love,
