ah, impermanence again

Geese cry out from the sky

High above the Sacramento Valley

The sound - is it lonely up there?

I look up, but they’re already gone

James Lee Jobe

“The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.”

Pema Chödrön

America 

Is a coin, not gold - it’s copper  

The coin is bent so badly that you cannot spend it    

A child keeps this coin as if it is a precious thing   

But it isn’t precious at all  

Just an old coin that’s all used up  

America

James Lee Jobe

"Happiness is in your ability to love others."

Leo Tolstoy

Everything is impermanent, every life, you, me 

Even the sun will supernova someday

And what will your efforts at perfection mean then?
