A morning philosophical conversation
approached the hard euthanasia question..
A saddened room as several with tears
recounted their special tragedies..
their own close life endings..
Other reflections revolved around
considerations of laws and rights..
troubled preferences for dark
decisions made now...

An afternoon wildfire with exploding fury
a sudden jump of canyon walls
raged into a city surprised..
Mass evacuations.. decisions right now..
demands of how to choose life..
Still many transfixed by the terrible beauty..
orange..billowing.. burning.. chaos...

Assessments reach both forward and back..
questions of rehearsals for future nows..
inadequacies of many decisions past..
Somehow in our heat today.. a continuing
blaze not yet contained..
new  awareness..an urgent plea..
to experience life's beauty and
constricting pain.. already enclosed
in an expectant now...
a mountain firestorm
suddenly attacked..
terrorized a city's
mountain shadowed
edge..
home destruction abounds
insurance assures and
eases much pain..
might humility now also
give voice..
please allow fire
a path...?
science today has
an announcement to make
a new particle
whose import has soared..
discovery with fanfare
rapt attention to a
divine imprimatur..

holding all together
with binding and mass
the particle's shadow
now seen..honoring
blinding acceleration paths
with furious endings in
colliding spray and crash..

science reports their
celebration's surety is
quite close to a certain 1.000..
reaching 99.9 and more
these notorious claims..
still an infinity away
others might say..

doors to questions now
swing open..
science with its symmetry
deserves accolade today..
yet is this point of arrival
one of immediate departure?
a new fork in the road?
historical discovery
of one humble particle
afloat on an edge..
unrecognized edge of
vast dimensional light?
High tech city grows,
trampling the green fields.
A farmer with homemade locks,
tries to sell me one.
I say, NO, and see
a sadness without words.

"Quiet river,
are you aware,
of an inaudible-
murmur,
like a chant incessant?"

"It's in the nether depths
of the consciousness,
the undying quest
of the inner being,
to discern
where this
swift current takes"

"Intense
invisible current,
the life force of all movements,
what inspires you to swiftly pass?"

**"A relentless quest,
in the core of consciousness,
to embrace eternity,
awaiting
in the blue ocean bed."
The inner goddess
Lies in us all
Connecting
Us to the Earth
Connecting
Us
With ourselves
Connecting us
To that loving
Caring
Warmth
That intuitive knowledge
Connecting to the spiritual
Connecting to the sensual
Feeling our bodies
Feeling our space
Becoming more open
Truly feeling the love
And the grace
And the warmth
That our mother
Bestows upon all her children
She loves us all
She is willing
To share a little love
With everyone
All you have to do
Is acknowledge her
And the wonderful
Beautiful
And mysterious world
That we all live in
Racing thoughts of your betrayal,
Long embraces that make me sail
Away, away on a ship of memories

The heavy beat of my heart,
The way your eyes make me start
To forget the troubles of our love

Alone and sitting in the night
I’m more comfortable without the light
That hangs above my head
