We burned it down
Hell, yes, we burned it down. What part of "We burned it down" didn't you understand? We BURNED IT DOWN!
I don't know why she lit that match, I really don't.
And I don't know why I handed it to her. I just did. I guess I wasn't thinking. … Read full post »
Flowers bloom in their own time
There’s too much red.
Way too much red.
Where are the blue ones?
They should be up by now. .
Why didn’t the blue ones come up?
I wanted everything to come up together.
I really planned it carefully, so they’d be balanced.
Why didn’t the… Read full post »
When will your heart open to me?
I’m so in love with you
I know you are the one for me
The one I waited so long for
And now here you are
Just as I knew you would
I’m certain this time
Don’t you feel it?
Don’t you feel how right it is?

Cracked Buddha
“Wow, great Buddha! It’s big! Is it new? Cool.
What is it, from Japan? O, Thailand, cool.
Yeah, that’s a Buddha all right.
The nose is kind of flat, though, did you notice?
Is it supposed to look like that?
And one eye is bigger than the… Read full post »
The grain of grit
This beautiful framed calligraphy art hanging over my desk, where it has always been for the last dozen years or so in a half dozen different locations, is one of my most treasured possessions. I look at it several times a day, and visitors always comment on it, because it… Read full post »
She's different
“Isn't it enough that every woman is different from every other woman?
But every woman is different, herself, every time.
Why do they make it so complicated for us?
And why is it so endlessly fascinating? Or is that the answer?
I give up. Let's dan… Read full post »
What mess?
What mess? This is not a mess. I know messes, and this is not a mess.
I ask you, how can anyone get anything done on a clean desk? "An empty desk is the sign of an empty mind," that's what I always say. You know a rose doesn't… Read full post »
How do they do that?
Look at them. How do they do that?
I mean, I've known them forever, and they were married before then, and they've always been like this. So how do they do that?
What do they know that I don't know?
What do they say that I haven't said?

Change is Good
One of my little personal quirks is that I dislike the feel of loose change in my pocket. So I never carry any small change with me when I leave the house, and I always unload whatever I’ve collected through the day just as soon as I return. So I accumulate… Read full post »

My Grandma's Special Gift
My Grandma’s special gift
Not many people know where Tatamagouche, but I do. It’s on the Nothumberland Strait about 85 miles north of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and it’s a little village of 689 today, perhaps 500 when I went there as a child. My Grandma… Read full post »
If one of those bottles should happen to fall
If one of
those bottles should happen to fall,
would there be a lot of upset? Commotion? Swearing? Anger? Sorrow?
Grief? Blame? Punishment?
Or would the owner just reach for a broom and sing,
"Oh, well, one
fell,
98 bottles of beer on the wall"?

Commentary:
In
life, some bottles will f… Read full post »
The wake of sadness
Moving forward, thoroughly enjoying the ride, I can't help being sad about what I left behind.
Not that it was all that great, but I'm still sad when I think that it's really gone.
Not that I don't want to move forward, but I still feel the wake… Read full post »
When she turns her back
Does she know my heart stops whenever she turns away from me like that?
Is that why she does it? It seems... a little deliberate, don't you think? Like she's trying to kill me, at least a little. Not that I don't deserve it sometimes. But not always. Not… Read full post »
Meditation: Stilling the Mind's Chatter
Buddha mind, Buddha mind, Buddha

Gotta get me some Buddha mind.
How do I get me some Buddha mind?
How can something simple be so hard to find?

I didn't pick my skin
I didn’t pick my skin
I didn't pick my skin, my eyes, my hair, my parents. I didn't pick
where I was born, or when.
I just showed up the way I showed up. Just like everybody else.
Like you did.
So why does any of that stuff even matter to… Read full post »
HURRY! My pants are gonna melt right off!
Overheard Conversation File #D43827
It was a cold, rainy night when I stopped at the video rental machine near the university, to return a couple of movies and pick up one that only was available in that location.
As I waited for the machine to cycle my first return,… Read full post »
Offering your heart to another
The risk of the second circumstance should be managed appropriately,
Another year, another decade... zoom, zoom
The speedometer has slowed down a little, so why is the odometer speeding up? Have I really come that far already? It doesn't seem possible. Not possible. It seems like the trip only started a little while ago. Really, it's not that far back.
How long will it take?
this deep longing be filled?
I am not impatient
I've been more than patient
I've been uncommonly patient
But still
I'm exhausted with waiting
I've been so ready
for so long
How long will it take to fill
this heart shaped box?
How long?"
&nbs
Can I get a sign?
"How am I supposed to know which way to go?
I can clearly see where I'm trying to get to, off in the distance,
but I don't have a clue how to get there from here.
Why does this always happen?
Hey! Can I get a sign, please? Just something… Read full post »
