When will the children break into song?

grandchild

the conductor on this train takes our pulse
not our tickets
he passengers look deeply into each other's eyes
all except for me of course
I keep my face pressed against the window
to look into my eyes
would turn the other passengers to stone
it’s a problem
there are things in this life
that are not meant to be seen

The world doesn't happen to you, you happen to it.

Brian Thompson



birth
from blood comes blood
from life comes life

death
shadow emptiness
silence without end

love
joy and a sweetness
like honey

hate
the evil that stains the heart
the fire that burns the mind

time
a lie an illusion
there is only now

james lee jobe

Don't fear mistakes. There are none. 

Miles Davis



america has a password for easy entry
WEALTH
one also needs an entry visa stamped with dollar signs
and a passport with a photo of a white person
america when will the bells ring and the doors open
when will the children break into song

james lee jobe

If there is no regarding of phenomena as “mine,” then the self who suffers is not constructed.

Andrew Olendzki, “A Universal Formula” 

Be kind to the people around you, to the people you meet; you never know who is really hurting.
