down in the dumps,
but the temple exhibit in a museum
with an ornate cathedral ceiling
that I almost missed, is uplifting–
unlike the unknowns
of relics, minds, and bones
that ask to steal our attention
away from the wisdom
of fellow spectators
whose sage words
are sometimes more relevant
than that
of a curator
or counselor,
in giving gentle advice such
as, “I always try to remember to look up.”
