Where time opens

Poems of attention, mystery, and return

These poems move through thresholds and weather—through sorrow and tenderness, through silence, imagination, and return. Not toward certainty, but toward attention.

Step inside. The world is still opening

Step inside

Where time opens

Where time opens invites you to slow down and notice the beauty, mystery, and grace hidden in ordinary life. These contemplative poems explore wonder, memory, imagination, love, loss, and the quiet work of becoming. Rather than offering answers, they invite readers to linger—to listen more deeply and discover what quietly begins to open within themselves.

A moment of reflection

Glimmerings

The lake was still.

Not because

nothing was moving.

Because everything

had found its place.

The world opens through attention, and somewhere beneath it, time opens.

Pause.

Wonder.

Presence.

Pause.

Wonder.

Presence.
