Heart Massage Awe … To massage another’s heart Requires trust and time Tender loving care And gentle hands If you plan to go there It is not to be treated lightly The massage of the heart But with privilege and respect Not knowing where it’s been It could be rather tender and bruised deep within When the proper attention Is given to the heart It will blossom with love And the ability to impart That is the benefit and beauty Of massaging another one’s heart Renee Budde, Lakewood
Unguided along this posted Hay Gulch Road, between an unknown distance left to travel and the whimsical right turn where the journey began, easing themselves from pavement to gravel, pursued by nothing but billowing dust, the two of them sat quietly mountain vistas draping the horizon, new-mown hayfields drying in the sun. The road had to go somewhere and they owned the remainder of the day. Maps at this point—pointless. The need to know without the patience to find out.
