On The Line

Thank you causal agents
And line combatants
I thank my ignorance
My participation in the line dance
Of our combat

The tearing apart has left a hole
For the tiny seed of wisdom
To find soil in which to root
Brothers and sisters of the fight
We toil in vain

There is no start to our problem
The line on which we fight
Is drawn not in [...]

Starting Point

There is no starting point
Now I can dance
The ceaseless dance
The spinning and choosing
The moving and being moved
There is no starting point
Now I can dance

Spider and Windshield

I saw a spider on my windshield just the other day
I watched him struggle to stay on as I drove away
At first the spider slowed, it moved a whole lot less
It stopped and stayed real still, the gas my foot did press
I could not tell from its eyes what was on its mind
Faster I did [...]

I just want what Buddha had

I just want what Buddha had
A nice, hot, mom, and a rich ass dad
and something that’s missing and hurting real bad

I just want to do what Buddha did
To sit by a tree till the truth is unhid
To take a cool raft to the other shore
Then tell the cool raft I don’t need you no more

I’m [...]

Wholeness Affirmation

I am a Physical Presence

My mind and body are Unified

My whole self is miraculous

Ever changing, yet complete

I experience with the World

Every instant of my being

Mind and Body

Living Self and Living World

Many, yet singular

Together and Aware

We are a Physical Presence

Each Day

Each day is my birthday

Each moment, my birth moment

All that is, born anew

Each moment, each day

My birthday every day

My birth moment

Each moment

Right now

Appreciating

The gift

My birth

Moment

and

Day

Whole

No longer searching
For the parts
I have found them
The little boy
Lost and found

Part of me
That had to stop
Crying
Had to make
A new self
New life
Has finally gotten
What he needed

Life

Our DNA flows
In the river of time
Branching new streams
Off older ones

Each individual
Part of two others
Who were themselves
A combination
Of many
Stretching back
Up the river of time

Following fertile soils
Across the world
Back to Africa
When a small tribe
Of humans
Chance and choice
Foot and hand
Imagination
and invention
Lead to our great
Collective journey

Hope

I hope writing
Survives
Reading too

I hope children
Find a place
To grow
Plants too

I hope water
Survives
For the living
Ebb and Flow
Through
Cell walls

I hope we
Stop
Eating time
Faster
Than it lives us

Blank… Like We are Part of the Planet

I want to

Eat like I’m part of the Planet

Drink like I’m part of the Planet

Feel like I’m part of the Planet

Touch like I’m part of the Planet

Think like I’m part of the Planet

Single Savior Notion

The Messiah, the Great One, the One Beyond Compare
Is here, was there, will come, is truth, at last they dare
Some say Marx, or Adam Smith, Jesus or Mohamed
Sale of Single Saviors, an ongoing human drama

The world goes on and on, the marketing machine
Selling single saviors exploiting every dream

Sound Bites

A short
Little blurb
Words that cut
And sparkle
Are there
Then gone
In their wake
A trail
In your head

Ic-R-Us

It all made sense at the start
Imagination fused with skill and great art
A driving need would pick everything
In this case it became a mighty wing

His dad was good at making things
He was a favorite of the kings

Free at last from the earth and the past
The sky his home now he could fly fast
Free to roam [...]

A Weary Conceptual Artist (blogger’s lament)

Today the world has defeated me
World one me zero
I don
