Things to do
Life wants us to live. A story is related of one quitting a high profile job to paint. Her art was more nourishing-giving (in real life, what nourishes us also gives nourishment or life to others) for her than the stressful paycheck. It flashed in me that people of all kinds of occupations and non occupations live all day long. Some express life, some express money, some other things. All survive. Living is what it is all about. The therapist, the fire fighter, the mechanic, all are engaged in life. Yet living is the thing, and the activities we do are ways of living, things to do to engage with others. Living is the thing. It made my car trip to my appointment a delight. Living is the thing. Live now. With these people. Live this moment.

Familiar scent
I don’t know spiritual, but I recognize; a friend whose name is forgotten, a familiar scent.

Glass of icy water is denied
A glass of icy water is denied people in the hospital. The touch of cold glass, the crystal clarity to look through. Sparkling in the sunlight!

Your art nourishes
If you express your art
because it must out
or from love for the generations
it yet nourishes

Diminishes frees lays
Every death diminishes me
perhaps frees me and others
lays on me responsibility

We arise of these?
Spirit, breath, wind, and mist
come and go on
understanding cannot grasp
we arise of these?
in the grasp of these?
even now worked?

To absorb open
Every one, part of the all, can teach me of the all there is, were I to absorb open.
