pedal faster

When I die, let me sleep in the rain that falls on the trees, in the rain that falls on the ocean. Let me sleep easy in the wetness that brings life to the earth.

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. 

When mindfulness embraces those we love, 

they will bloom like flowers.

A foggy morning 

the wisps float over the cold and empty field

A young man on the downtown sidewalk
homeless and alone
he appears to be about the age that my late son would be 

so cold this wind of January

Poetry is an orphan of silence. 

The words never quite equal the experience behind them.

If you could, would you bicycle to the horizon of the world at night? 

Moving east toward the sunrise? 

Would you open your heart to the starlight above? 

Would you pedal faster to match the passion of your life?

Thanks, James
