Looking deeply into the eyes of each person.

'stares at flower with intensity,' jlj

today 

early morning meditation 

then I added supplies to the local homeless shelter

read a poem at a public function

and took my sweet wife out to lunch

the sky was winter-gray but still beautiful

and the cold air on my face 

felt like being young again

which I am not

split pea soup with bacon for dinner

then maybe some small poems in my journal

what will I dream tonight

I'll tell you tomorrow

John Mayall - Room To Move

I died a mineral, and became a plant. I died a plant and rose an animal. I died an animal and I was man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

Jalal Ad-din Muhammad Rumi

In the dream, I was far in the past, in Europe. I was trying to tell people that it is alright to love each other, but because of the differences in 'technology' between the two eras, I was failing. It was almost time to return here. I felt frustrated. Finally, I got around the problem by looking deeply into the eyes of each person, one at a time. "Love is the answer," I said, again and again.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

past midnight 

something pushing on my skull 

a hard and steady pressure

like a man's hands or like guilt 

son is that you 

have you returned to me after so long away 

no you're really dead 

and there is no one and nothing here 

but me alone

I rise and go to the window to look 

but there is nothing out there but darkness 

and I knew it would be so
all of that and only a couple of minutes

have passed

If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do succeed.

Curly Howard

Imagine that when those cynical or sarcastic thoughts pop up, you don't respond to them. Imagine just letting them go and maybe smiling instead.

I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
