saluting a crow

With every act of giving we weaken the power of grasping. The Buddha once said that if we knew as he did the fruit of giving, we would not let a single meal pass without sharing it.

Joseph Goldstein


Could it be that the empty universe 

Was dreaming 

And it dreamt up a fiery hand 

To cast out the dust that led to us 

A thought in the darkness 

To toss the stars across the void 

And bless them 

With a spark of life

A large rather old looking crow caws 

And a wind sweeps through my valley 

Not everyone gets to have that kind of power 

Watching from my patio I salute the crow 

Who caws again 

And flies away 

To rejoin the rest of the world

James Lee Jobe



Loss itself is not a gift; loss is just loss. Pain is not okay just because we can grow from it. We never need to be blown apart just because we can learn from the act of piecing ourselves back together.
