The wild animal
fears the hunter that envies
its vitality.
Collaboration
is the best way frustrations
may become resolved.
The kitchen holds things
that are simply there, as I
come, and as I leave.
We may grow weary
of working so hard to be
as strong as we seem.
Death is like the sky:
an illusion of limits
placed on the cosmos.
My father had said
there’s no level playing field
on a round planet.
This continuous
practice will achieve nothing:
rivers will still flow.
This definite choice,
in a sea of infinite
possibilities.
A beautiful child
has come to stay with us and
change our entire world.
Firm against the flow
yet changing— flowing against
the firm without change.
He lies beside her
afterwards, breathing in the
aromas of love.
Have we given up?
Where are the people who hoped,
and voted for change?
Regretting errors,
I am able to learn that
I’m able to learn.
Simple food is what
is really needed now— that,
and an appetite.
The higher pastures
blaze in the evening sun
while night climbs the hills.
Living embraces
life, and then it lets it go.
Caress, but don't cling.
Faces aren’t shallow:
who we really are shows though
our appearances.
What is human is
the opportunity to
do things on purpose.
Twittering: short talk
is not the same as small talk.
At least not always.
Sometimes I’m surprised
that I can still believe that
this is who I am.
