1. i am

    sun shaped silhouettes of silence
    seduced sensitivity
    gently shaping my reality

    tears of broken dreams
    shattered by a softness of unfathomable understanding
    impregnated peace

    drips like honey from the fountain
    of my own courage
    to live in truth

    mysterious
    mystical
    magical

    the birds song tells the complete story

    shuuuuuuu
    just listen my friend

    silence

    the ground squirrels even know the secret
    kept by a thousand dreams

    mountain inspired
    a journey that only the moon can whisper

    sun shadows
    my shadow

    a blade of grass
    dances to life’s song

    are you listening
    can you see

    silence
    is love’s catalyst
    my voice will give it wings

    heart roots
    my roots

  2. Freedom and Love

    ” Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.” J. Krishnamurti

  3. We went to Jalama surfing for the weekend. Aron was in a hurry and wanted to drive home—-which was fine with me because I had surfed two epic session and was content on just being. Two miles from the park entrance we pulled over and he swings way to the outside and as I get out of the car I say, “man you driving like me these days.” We never left that spot—-unassisted!

  5. Hokusai says

    Hokusai says

    Hokusai says look carefully.
    He says pay attention, notice.
    He says keep looking, stay curious.
    He says there is no end to seeing

    He says look forward to getting old.
    He says keep changing,
    you just get more who you really are.
    He says get stuck, accept it, repeat
    yourself as long as it is interesting.

    He says keep doing what you love.

    He says keep praying.

    He says every one of us is a child,
    every one of us is ancient
    every one of us has a body.
    He says every one of us is frightened.
    He says every one of us has to find
    a way to live with fear.

    He says everything is alive —
    shells, buildings, people, fish,
    mountains, trees, wood is alive.
    Water is alive.

    Everything has its own life.

    Everything lives inside us.

    He says live with the world inside you.

    He says it doesn’t matter ifyou draw,
    or write books. It doesn’t matter
    ifyou saw wood, or catch fish.
    It doesn’t matter if you sit at home
    and stare at the ants on your veranda
    or the shadows of the trees
    and grasses in your garden.
    It matters that you care.

    It matters that you feel.

    It matters that you notice.

    It matters that life lives through you.

    Contentment is life living through you.
    Joy is life living through you.
    Satisfaction and strength
    is life living through you.

    He says don’t be afraid.
    Don’t be afraid.

    Love, feel, let life take you by the hand.

    Let life live through you.
