Time on a hill side

The Cold Hill Side

As months and years accumulate,
I miss you more and more.
Forgetting where I put the key,
I sometimes find a door

and other times feel stunned and lost,
though living in my own
body and life, presumably,
bewildered and alone

as the knight, kidnapped and released
to a dim world, who said
And I awoke and found me here
on the cold hill side.

Dumb ways to "fall off your perch"

Interdependent we are

True spirituality is to be aware that if we are interdependent with everything and everyone else, even our smallest, least significant thought, word, action have real consequences throughout the universe.

Sogyal Rinpoche

What is and what was

I think I have reached that certain age when the past seems so much better than the future. It was and it is. I spend great amounts of time looking at slides, photos, letters and unfinished poetry. Lots of that. Hours pass and I am sitting in the middle of the floor surrounded by the history of my life. I begin to discard, my hand hesitates over the garbage bag….just one more glance. Despite my determination I am weak. Someone will have to clean up my life it should be me

Affection ~ I'll take it

We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.
