ocean of peace , walking mindfully into the new year

"When we walk like (we are running), we print anxiety and sorrow on the earth. We have to walk in a way that we only print peace and serenity on the earth... Be aware of the contact between your feet and the earth. Walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet."  - Thich Nhat Hanh

"will wonders never cease ?"
must be an irish expression
grandma o' riordan, as i recall
when something surprised her,
restored her sense of mystery

may our wonders never end 
as to wandering - that too ?
there is once again no certainty
to understand what must be beyond me

along for the ride, starry eyed
wake, sleep, move, dream
(i once was) a jewel inside, now lost
now found
many facets it would seem

when asking twenty questions
of any person, place or thing
do we want to only seek response
in the wondering ?
