So early it’s still almost dark out. I’m near the window with coffee, And the usual early morning stuff That passes for thought. When I see the boy and his friend Walking up the road To deliver the newspaper. They wear caps and sweaters, And one boy has a bag over his shoulder. They are so happy They aren’t saying anything, these boys. I think if they could, they would take Each other’s arm. It’s early in the morning, And they are doing this thing together. They come on, slowly, The sky is taking on light, Though the moon still hangs pale over the water. Such beauty that for a minute Death and ambition, even love Dosen’t enter into this Happiness. It comes on Unexpectedly, and goes beyond, really, And early morning talk about it. “Happiness” ~ Raymond Carver

Here is the road: the light comes and goes then returns again. Be gentle with your fellow travelers as they move through the world of stone and stars whirling with you yet every one alone. The road waits. Do not ask questions but when it invites you to dance at daybreak, say yes. Each step is the journey; a single note the song. "The Road" ~ Arlene Gay Levine
