I Know That You Exist (Wiem, ze Jestes) Thank you Lord for Indians who shared bread with newcomers. Thank you Lord for the moment of the seed’s conception for the opening petals of a flower for October’s sun for the dance of leaves at the road’s cross for the smiling car windows… Thank you Lord for waking me up at dawn feeding me with the enchantment of sunrises rocking to sleep at sundown testing my thoughts by placing on my path those who open eyes, hypocrites, liars Thank you Lord for all those whom I’m encountering on my path walking in sun, rain, snow, in frost and the evening fog and for those who bring kindness on the stretched fingers of their hands I know that you exist Chicago, February 2011
