People always say that when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that’s not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.

i thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

Ghost

I had drinks with the ghost of an old friend last night
He died in a tragic drowning, thick and slow
His face reminded me of my own death
He tried to be ok and make polite conversation
while his eyes cried out in pain and fear
and confusion, oh the confusion, I remember it!

I had so much I wanted to tell him
about this place where he has landed
I wanted to tell him that he would feel better
and there would be hope again
but his ears are still too full of his own death
He couldn’t hear my words or feel my touch

He has a guide, he will be ok
Someone to hold him up when he can’t stand on his own
And he will learn to walk and talk as a ghost
Floating from room to room until his chains grow lighter
Still with him, they will grow
Light enough that he will fly again

Mama used to roll her hair
Back before the central air
We’d sit outside and watch the stars at night
She’d tell me to make a wish
I’d wish we both could fly
Don’t think she’s seen the sky
Since we got the satellite dish

Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”

Finding Forgiveness

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:39:16 -0500

My Dad and I have not had an easy relationship. He had his demons and passed some on to me. He had some angels, he passed some of those on to me also. Now, I sit here watching him sleep, not sure if he will leave this hospital alive. I sure hope my angels will find the forgiveness my demons have withheld, and set us both free.
