All Present

RANDY BLASING

ALL PRESENT

The sky is

blue irises

verging on

lilacs. The evening

star has six

no five ("count

'em") points. There

are stars you

didn't see,

you think. Wrong

again-they weren't

there before. It's

that time of day

or night, which kind

of thrills you: stars

are popping

up across

the sky this

instant. Change

raises time

to the power

of now-no

before or

after! Such

moments let

you in on

the secret

of being:

becoming.
