Somewhere Over The Rainbow??


      Thanks for the ride.

My soul is from somewhere else, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.
-Rumi

There's that song from The Wizard Of Oz,
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow,"
that could be a clue.
This old soul came here from over a rainbow,
flying through the invisible tunnel
from the universe to my mother's vagina.
There was an orgasmic explosion of life
empowering my father's sperm, and there I was,
leaping out with with a poem
and a head for nonsense.
Oh life, thank you for the ride.

You are alive, so be fully alive.

You’re asking who knows the truth.

One may move so well that a foot-print never shows. -Lao Tzu

Step into the corner of night, the edge of the blue-steel future, step into those things that you have hoped for, but haven't said.

You are a field left fallow, an unanswered question, a small slice of winter that was hidden and saved for the long, slow heat of summer.

Where are your foot-prints now? What is it that you have hidden, buried deep somewhere? How will you move at all, so badly wounded?

You are the sum and total of your every experience, your every thought. And this is the boat of your life, slicing through a choppy, shallow bay, the dog that just

walked away, the river that laughed at the bayou and went where it wanted to go, the sun that burned and ravaged the land.

Step into the corner of night, the edge of the blue-steel future, step into those things that you have hoped for, but never said.

You wanted to know the truth? Friend, the truth is inside of you. You are the only one who ever knew the truth.

Learning to forgive takes time, sometimes years. So be patient as you weave a little forgiveness into your daily routine as a way of strengthening your capacity to forgive.
