This Is The Tao
Dictating articles
On my Iphone
At the nature park
As I leave
A man walks by with a beautiful woman
Mysterious these women are
And beautiful
Her black hair shimmers
She had a beautiful smile
Don't look
Don't look at beautiful things
For she will be there for a few seconds
And then gone
On a hike with another man
A man who is not me
Well that's how it always is
My clothes are plain
My left shoulder is a bit akward
I think of how beautiful she was
Smiling women
I have to remind myself to be carfeul
I must protect myself from them
My therapist smiled wonderfully
Then she left me
Do not wish for a female companion
Be content to have nature
I continue down the street
A hybrid sits charging
A man in his garage
Listens to "Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine"
This is a small town
Quiant mountain town
Of Sierra Madre
Founded in 1882
By Mr. Carter
Carter is the name of the street
Where the nature park is
Home of the Pinney House
I passed by there earlier when I went to the mailbox
Built in 1887 as one of the original railroad hotels
I begin recording the birds
There many sounds
They seem more clear than before
A parrot sits on top of the tree
His, the loudest call of all
Yes, this is the time of year they migrate
Two people emerge a few hundred yards away
Entering Sierra Madre
We eventually converge
I am heading west
They are heading east
In the far distance two walkers
Walk parallel to each other
Heading south
A man and a woman
Walk their dogs
They decide not to go any further
But to turn back
These are the 10,000 things
Who come from the same source
This is the Tao
