When to hold, when to let go.

Sunrise. A new day.
May yours be blessed.

A lifetime of words on paper
Has kept me open to the words
That I can read in the empty sky
Words that I can hear
In the music of Putah Creek
To go slow
Breathe
To keep my heart open
The Dharma is all around
Everywhere

-----

To know when to hold on, and when to let go.
Our lives turn on the choices we make.

-----

A new day begins
How shall we embrace it
By replanting the forest
And raising bees
By learning all of the names
Of the plants and animals around us
By wading into the cold water
And raising our arms in thanks and praise
A new day begins
Life goes on

-----

May you be healed from all the things that no one ever apologized about.

James Lee Jobe

We have two eyes to see two sides of things, but there must be a third eye which will see everything at the same time and yet not see anything. That is to understand Zen.

One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.

Freedom takes work. It takes prayer. It takes connecting to the unseen. It takes devotion and trust in the sacred or the divine. But if we can do that, then we will get free.
