Minneapolis Visitation

Living with the front door open,

this room of clattering forks 

and spoons overflows 
    
        suddenly

into pure sky, great surprising 
silence.

An old couple sits alone

in the cafe dawdling over 
eggs and toast. Worried 

faces dissolve at once into spacious 

blue forever, a completely new arising.

Facades of fear transform, become

the biggest Love I have ever seen,

a mirror of all horizons
rings in joy,

sings strong and shimmers.

Welcomed to reflect in classroom, 
cafe, car or office, tucked between 
earth and heaven we're right here, 
              astonished,

then gently beckoned clear through 
                beyond 
    these unknown open doors.
