Which Three Letters?
This is a piece I originally posted last May, but with the shooting at the synagogue in Poway, I feel like I need to post it every day. ~~~~~ Which Three Letters? ~~~~~ NRA, DOA, RIP ~~~~ The NRA pushes guns without any regret, as they myriad Needless Requiems Abet. Doubtless they think they deserve […]
Your Life
~~~~~ What we select to hide; what we’re willing to show, live in conflict, diametrically opposed, poles apart. Doesn’t matter whether we’re moving fast or slow, whether our journey is near its end or just the start Life now flashes by us in rapid fifteen second clips, with staggered moments, fraught with raw emotion. While […]
Can They?
~~~~~ Conservationists have the goal, bringing species from the brink. Extinction the brink they extoll. Can they do this, do you think? Maybe, aliens are here even now. Don’t think their effort working. Ornery, stupid, don’t know how, Probably not, it’s but us shirking. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy […]
Again
~~~~~ Again, I ask you to sing me my song. I do not know the tune or the words. Unclear where notes or rests belong. Even to me this sounds quite absurd. Still, I know, if I once hear this tune, I’ll believe I have always known it. Self-symphony, under sun or moon, this harmony, […]
My Friend
~~~~~ Begin at the beginning, just before. Do you know where that might be? Bring light into all the dark places; opening your heart, light the world. Moonlight, starlight, both the same. Inhale deeply, feed lungs and brain? The beginning of everything always begins at the end. I urge you to open wide your wings, […]
Secret Heart
~~~~~ Where do you think you will find your secret heart, A heart that speaks to the secret heart of the world? What pushes us away from the center, keeps us apart? What fear, hatred bigots us, around our heart curled? Are we somehow kept too busy to even take one look, to find that […]
Until Life Runs Out
~~~~~ Our world drowns in ignorance. No one knows. Our world smothers under ennui, apathy. No one cares. We inhabit tiny cages, think we’ve got it good, or not. We run, race, within our wheels, believe we are getting somewhere. We smoke weed, drink, pop pills, preen and pretend. We don’t see any of this, […]
Transformations
~~~~~ Let the world inhabit you, move you in strange, exotic directions. Imagine a new land where north, south, east, west are meaningless, arbitrary. Find there no time, but change ever present and everlasting. Expressions of limited duration. Only process, constant, no past, no future, a surprise waiting around every moment, even if we find […]
Full Circle or Geriatric Lament
~~~~~ When wee small and wheeled about, it’s the only way you could get out. When, past four score years and ten, it’s the only way you get out again. ~~~~~ Peace is Purpose, Nonviolence is Strength, Diversity is Unity, Empathy is Empowerment ~~~~~ Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think. […]
So They Post
~~~~~ Everything you are about to hear or read is true. Whether these stories are about me or about you. How should we tell these stories so they are real not some mountebank’s wild and fanciful spiel? I believe that we must trust ourselves, our gut. I think most folk are happy where they are, […]
