How do I see something I haven’t seen, if I haven’t ever seen it?

Where the juice spills out

We’re all broken
The broken parts are where
The juice spills out!

In this present illness

In this present illness
when we each try to be
strong for both of us
strength may be more
in sharing our weaknesses

stream suggests a direction

a stream suggests a direction
perhaps a purpose
a congregation suggests
nuance
unexpected turning

I’m only a congregation singing along

I’m only a congregation
of electrons
don’t know if I’m a particle
or a wave
or a string
nevertheless I go
singing along

It is amazing that in the space of two minutes meditation, I can float through a dozen or two disparate thoughts!

flinging stones nor kisses

This was an eye-opener this morning to see myself as a stream flowing through a place-moment. There is no need to get caught up in my thoughts, emotions, even poetry, but only to see the passing. It is all as it is, good in its own way, filling its role. It is a misnomer. All is-ing, all good-ing, all filling. This loosens me in meditation/contemplation to see passing without clinging without flinging stones nor kisses.

not the enemy

Probate and Wills are not
the enemy—only tools among many
TOD is not the ultimate
slicer, dicer, and cooking pot
They call upon you to think

Footprints in the Windsm # 1523–a song I will not recognize

Footprints in the Windsm # 1523

I am a collection of cells
hanging on together
cells coming and going
moving through
earth air fire and rain
to music seldom heard
as I move as I breathe
writing the score of life
a song I will not recognize
for a thousand years
or two


Please pass it on.
