Screaming from hell.

Pierre-Hugues Hétu

it doesn’t matter to me if the sun is up 

I wake up when I wake up 

no alarm clock 

no rules 

usually it is just before dawn 

I feed my animals and drink my coffee 

I work on poems 

I am often a bit put out 

that I didn’t die in my sleep 

as is my wish 

any night will do 

just like any day is a good day to be 

alive

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.

May Sarton

why did I wait so many years 

to mourn the falling leaves

Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.

Muhammad

blood on the flowers 

blood in the street 

the battle is done 

and it is not just the soldiers 

who are dead 

children parents doctors 

teachers ministers clerks 

mechanics regular people 

just going about their lives 

bombs and bullets 

don’t discriminate

Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom.

Henepola Gunaratana

so maybe the noise from crows 

is really just my mother 

screaming from hell

When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.
