For the light

To be open and aware. To accept the light and be the light and welcome the light at all times.

Looking West

My life is all about sunsets. I suppose that’s what happens when your main opening faces west. 

Today was a magical day beyond recording. 

No known path

So, I'm asked what my preferred path is and I answer, "I don't know." I have never found it.

Lucky

To have been in love twice. I hope for the third lucky charm.

Buddha sanga dharma

I go for refuge until I am enlightened.

1969

I was successful because I was not afraid. I didn't know I should be.

Rarely

I listen to you playing piano and am immediately transported to the year when you toured Russia and made that movie. You angrily responded to my comments. That put even more distance between us. When the music is playing all that space and time disappear.

You know, you're playing that part now – the one I suggested you play – of a slightly deranged genius and it suits you well.

Which brings me here now, although it doesn't stop me from being there, too. And it doesn't matter. All that time is like water over the falls. Falling because it has to and making everything clean and beautiful with its mist.

10 Years After

You thought I'd never get over you. Yet you see I've nearly forgotten you.

Today I recycled the lesser lovely greeting cards and the wretched letter of complaint detailing your faults and my anger. I've always been surprised by that letter because as time goes on your virtues grow and your faults disappear. Thus the way of loss and languishing. In another ten years you will be a dream in full and I will remember none of your disadvantages. Well, perhaps one or two of the more choice memorable ones.

However, I do not languish today. Today i rejoice and look forward to the future. I finished another crochet hat and I'm proudly wearing it right this minute. Ha!

Not my fault

I can't heed all your vague warnings. And you don't make it possible for me to do the obvious.
