looking and finding on the
path am i
my gratitude may expand
may it heal
my friends and enemies. i concede that
i know nothing, nor can knowledge ever
be satisfied. I concede that i think i'm in love with the human spirit &
the ability to be a conduit of the consciousness of light, and when
resonating with emptiness, i ask the light to be part of this process.
i do not accuse god of abandonment,
for i am rich, both in laughter and exasperation.
the zen mind may come with me, as
i look within for a new understanding...
the path is a fire, shredding my feet
and icy shards.
opening me.
today discussing the holidays,
with linda,
enjoying the first caffeine and nicotine high
of the morning:
the pains of
consumerism,
seasonal depression,
the funeral procession of beautiful turkeys and pigs
from their graves to our tables.
all reminders of "our apparent wealth or lack."
(i apologize for my ego being a grinch,)
so linda reminded me that the holidays
are meant as a time to get together close
with others, to stay warm in the cold,
to fill light in the dark, so we won't be so sad.
summer will come again,
and one year from now, we'll be killing all of our turkeys again,
preparing to celebrate being alive through cold and dark.
