My imagination is real.

:- Doug.

When
Your God is too small
You shrivel
Then
Turn and see
The conflagration
In the hills
Of some planet
Light years of light years
From here
In the Real

:- Doug.

Your presence, man
Your presence, woman
Comes to us
Is perceived by us
Long before you walk before us

:- Doug.

The show!
a single tree
left side only
ablaze top to bottom
in the morning sun!

:- Doug.

Every day, something new
if we’re having fun

:- Doug.

We’re all learning this thing called life as we go along.

:- Doug.

You can be a burden on your family at end of life by stressing them, giving emotional pain, keeping them in the dark—not just by being a financial burden. More so, not letting people help or love you is a burden that is carried years beyond your life.

:- Doug.

Maybe what our culture needs for our end of life conversation is some serious time for memento mori, memento vitae.

:- Doug.

You can’t know it all
because
everything is moving

:- Doug.

Leaves hanging on to their twigs
straight out in the wind
silently squealing Whee!

:- Doug.
