Gratitude Text 04/25/2024
Good morning. Today I’m grateful to listen to and hear the rain, to see the trees and leaves sway in the breeze, and to watch water like thoughts flow by as bubbles popping like troubles that don’t exist.

A Weathered Eye
Weathering the storm Of my human affliction Reasonable needs Mixed with addiction I find my eye Fixed on the Sky Of many happy returns… Has mindfulness Made me resilient To the moments Where I fall from Grace? Where sea salt I taste As down my face Tears I trace Leaving a glistening Trail to my…

Dripping
Dripping As time is slipping Slowing The Flowing To a soft rhythm Accented By grey and blue… The moments Stretch Into an unending Pattern Where raindrops Splatter And everything matters… The condensation Catches my Attention As rain gutters Overflow… The sensation Of Silence Amidst The drips In a symphony Of solitude Whets my Senses And…

The Path
I’ve heard One meditates So he’ll notice The purple flowers Along the path… The trees The bees The wants The needs The rain The pain The pause Refrain… Tomorrow’s Test Of my surrender Comes before I open the door Of much Anticipation… I bare my throat In vulnerability To trust the steady Surgeon’s hands Reaching…

While
While there’s Yet time To take in Each Sacred Moment To be The experience Of my heart Opening Closing Shown To me as I slept As I dreamt As I wept To feel it all… A kaleidoscope Calling me To pay attention To cash in My only currency— Time slipping Drifting and dripping Tripping My…

Waning
In conjunction With a waning moon Venus rises Reflecting My attention— Nearing my Intention To be at peace With what is… Yet as the Mourning glow Of a former self Shines Of my frailty, Confidence Ebbs and flows As I try on My renewed skin… My imbued sin Of miraculously Being human Evolved To this…

Flooded
Flooded I find I’ve lost my mind Traversing Through Reflected trees… Brought to my knees I’ve wondered Where does the water go? Does it soak Into roots Thirsting For nourishment— Encouragement To persevere In the sphere? Does the atmosphere Of filtered Light Enlighten An opened mind As the Flow Of consciousness And consequences Touch A…

Waves
Watching The waves Of consciousness Wash by I had a moment Where I was The Ocean… More than A moment, really For time stretched Into a stillness Where I was… I saw… I felt… The infinite Enormity Beyond Pain Or comprehension… I saw and felt My fellow sufferers Resisting Their waves And wanted For them…

The Flow
I am a particle And a wave— A microcosm Woven into Humanity… In chaos, Consciousness Swimming With equals In confluence Beyond comprehension… Letting go of The delusion Of disconnection, The ego Has nowhere To go… Death to disbelief As Peace Pulsates With intentional Pauses… The ineffable Escapes me As I lose my “I” And consciously…

Blowing
Instinctual inflammation Waxes and wanes Like the moon’s rays During a cold Morning breeze… Palm trees Flitter leaves Bending As a sign Of the times… I feel the occasional Nostalgic need To caress, comfort And feel And find those Fading As phases In my solitude… This attitude That all is As it should be Shows…

Extinction Events
Over 400 billion years Life found a way To persevere To this very moment… Through a series Of fighting, fucking & feeding Life found a way… Unimaginable spans Of uninhabitable lands As toxic atmospheres Cleared Life found a way… Iced over Those who dove deep Found a way… The preciousness Of Now Emerges When we…

I Care
“I care For this Suffering” She said— The meditation Teacher In my head Teaching The inward Reaching Of hand On heart Connected Unapart Unsevered Belonging To this Loving Being. What Would your Future Self Say She said To the wounded Walker In my head— The walker Trudging The road From head To heart Holding space…
