The writing is everywhere-
the gulls, shadows, dandelions, planes and clouds
are eager to share
their wisdom with us-
we're connected.

If we can't see,
try hearing
if we can't hear,
try tasting
try smelling
try feeling the breath of air
along the side of the face
the change in the temperature
using the backs of the hands and wrists.
So much to learn
before a word is spoken.
