on the far side of the sun

Zen is really just a reminder to stay alive and to be awake.

Peter Matthiessen

There is always some reason to give thanks

My aging body is falling apart 

Hearing and mobility are both compromised 

like a criminal caught in the act

Thankfully I am on the back-end of life anyway

My future is now 

That’s alright 

I am a marvelous cook

Not so great at gardening

One by one my plants die like sickly prisoners

I give thanks that I am not farming for a living

So you’ve got some troubles 

So what 

Cheer up

It just means you're still important 

To somebody

James Lee Jobe

Mark Kazav

If a thing loves, it is infinite.

William Blake

There must be something

On the far side of the sun 

On the far side of the moon

Tomorrow let’s go and see

James Lee Jobe

All the elements for your happiness are already here.

There's no need to run, strive, search or struggle. Just be.
