Where time opens

Poems of attention, mystery, and return

There are moments when time opens.

Not to arrive, but to listen. Not to escape, but to return to the sacred within the ordinary.

Where time opens is a collection of contemplative poems that invite us to slow down, to attend, and to discover what quietly waits within everyday life. These poems move through thresholds of attention, the inner weather, the slow becoming, the flow of imagination, the sacred ordinary, and what lies beyond us.

Read a poem. Listen. Let it settle. And see what becomes possible when you truly attend. As the poems remind us, “The infinity arrives quietly,” and “What opens does not hurry.”

Something in us
begins to move—
