Missed Connections in Brooklyn
Avocados
No Religion, Only Love
I have no religion
The one I have is in the lock box
Love is the closet form of prayer
It’s around every corner, waiting, wanting
Love can start anywhere
On line at the post office
On the C train headed to Penn Station
Shopping for avocados in the market
Even if your heart has been splintered
In a million shards of scrap
Go to the lost and found
The clerk might be holding flowers
Live, Lust, Dream, Laugh
Smile through dark clouds
Pet a dog, give money to those with less
Love yourself, Make this the day ……
Her Two Cents
SETI’s “Beacon” is a great video and soundtrack to accompany our Brooklyn poet’s words of hope and mystery. We are all inter-connected whether we want to be or not, so why not approach it with open eyes and open mind? What unfolds can be truly spectacular (or at least interesting) if we allow ourselves the experience – even when shopping for avocados.
