The Gift…



*

It is possible to box almost anything.

Thoughts…

Ideas…

Emotions…

In this way a whole life may be compartmentalised into secure, bounded segments of much more manageable proportions.

Bite sized pieces.

Or even, ‘shots’.

*

As everybody knows it is even possible to box one’s ears,

so that only those things which compute are actually heard.

This is the way Spirit dies.

Blinkers, are boxes for the eyes…

*

In fact, about the only thing which it is not

possible to put into a box…

Is light.

*

This is strange…

But only because light,

is really the gift of a turning-year.
