Dig

-------Dig-------

Our story 
is buried beneath 
a pile of books.

Books filled with a kind of knowledge 
so depending on the moral state
of the author, the editor and of the time within which it was written.

But a story.
A story 
is timeless.

It can be told and retold 
over, around, through 
and foreverly over again.

For the moral of the story, 
like history 
itself repeats in principle;

transcending beyond 
individual moments and belief
into the commons.

There are no best-sellers in the story world,
just one's we'll remember; one's that get us dirty in a good way,
like grass stains on a pair of khaki pants.

And so when things get too serious 
and the days begin to pass 
without their brilliance,

remember the story underneath, 
take off your gloves 
and with your bare hands

start digging.

Harmony’s Sweater

A mind at peace

clear 
and 
beautiful

will keep the body warm
through the coldest of days.

The World is Only One

-------The World is Only One-------

If the intent of your solitude 
is to be alone,
may you go about it by yourself.

But if it is to join that hallow space
you share with all things,
then I will meet you there.

Going Home

-------Going Home-------

The less I choose to carry
the easier 
will be my travels,

and wherever I settle
there will be a place 
for everything.
