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

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

float through a dozen or two disparate
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.

A pleasant day off
A pleasant day off
a few brain tickles
It’s up to you
To think to change
