From the alarm to Instagram, FB, TikTok and beyond
The external world is screaming:
Watch me! Follow me! I’ll show you where you belong!
We’ve been led, by the piper, into 'other' consciousness,
Happily, we submit to its authority
Because this world is too much.

We stuff every gap, every silence with ******-fanatic thoughts,
Running further from our true selves
How did we get swallowed in this chasm of chants;
That said we are not enough?
It’s time to do something revolutionary!
It’s time to sit in silence;
Befriend the bewildering quietness,
And accept with loving kindness.

we're immature nature
we all helped each other make ourselves
please be gentle with me because i'm nature
we have to preserve ourselves

Black & white thinking
Respectfully lacks a meeting
Where two minds could both exist
Respectfully taking a risk.

All the holes & cracks
Actually point to what both lacks
A canyon growing vast
Based on nothing but the past.

Tree rings growing together
Will help everyone weather
Wood slices revealing
Our tree of life healing.

All those imperfections
Become organizing motifs
Informing we have choices
For turning over a new leaf.
Possum living Oct 2018
We begin with ourselves, a lofty proposition

Shifting this intention to the loves we have known, those who’ve shown us the way

We pass through gates of uncertainty and benevolence, arriving to meet the ones cast from our heart

Now sharing with all who surround us, and in the end all sentient beings in existence

With a fierce heart, your ever well-wishers

May you know boundless love

May you find relief of your burdens

May you break the chains

Beggar gets a life
After saving one
Writer gets a life
After losing one

When all hope is lost
But for a sliver of light
In the form of an Angel
From Spain

He saw her unconscious
He saw her fuming
He calmed her
Troubled mind

She lives on
With that chimera
Of a goodbye hug
Or was it one that said:
Hello?

Beggar gets a life
After saving one
Writer wins a life
Writing to
Her Angel of Spain

Of all thoughts
Good and bold
Of all thoughts
Clean and right

Of all means
Clear of sorrow
Of all things
High and low
