The depression comes out of the blue
I try to sleep it away
Godforsaken world
But basketball to play

Haven't been to India
But India came to me
Brown is beautiful
Please protect my 3

U.S. politics is an Abyss
Endless are the wars

I have a fear of being forgotten, dear reader
Forgotten for forever

God is Unknowable
We die and don't discover
Time tick tocks
I wanna be your lover

Bangkok was bustling
Motorcycle taxis in the rain
Buddhadasa meditates
Silent in the strain

I pray as I drive
Keep her calm collected
Happy to be alive
Quietly connected

                    Slowly ...

The rain comes pouring down
Hath the rain a father?
I have three sons
She has two daughters

Smalltown Maryland
Not much going on

Quiet monasteries
Lonely contemplation
My wife and my sons
This summer on vacation

I have diabetes
Will it be my killer?

                 eee hee!

I don't like the word intellectual
I need therapy for my mind
I find it in the silence
I hope you treat me kind

I would like to be studied
Talked about in class
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
Thus it came to pass

I've been to New York City
Wicked with my sons
Denver, Colorado
Taipei 101

Have to work this weekend
Dishes to be washed
The saints are taught to give
And not to count the cost

                       Hope!

Try to hold on to my sanity
Take it easy. Take it slow.
Troubled sexuality
Help me slowly go

What we seek we find?

Time is an ocean
All moments come and go
I'm next to Richard Parker
I fly to Ohio

See my mother's grave
University of Toledo
A little Mexican food
Vegetarian burritos

                    Ole!

Honest about myself
Not very much
Struggle with mental illness
Mike, Steve, and Hutch

They might say I'm crazy
Might dismiss me might
Thai food today
Two green lights

On disability
Bipolar in my brain
Washington Wizards got the win
We took the Metro train

Life is suffering
Suffering is caused by desire
