That moment when the very first raindrops
tumble down from the broken sky
scattered and fat perfect lovely

The most effective act is, once the mind is made up, to go on without looking backward.

The pavement ends but the road continues
keep going
hot summer sun
ruts in the dirt
left there by wheels on the rainy days
holes and low spots
keep going
no breeze at all
no clouds
the road ends at a trailhead
a path through tall dead weeds
keep going
walk
you are alone in the silence
not even the sound of one bird
the path fades away
the weeds fade away
finally you are alone beneath an empty sky
that seems as wide as creation
the world seems bleached and begins to fade
and the sky fades as well
and then you begin to fade away too
only the light remains
only the light
-james lee jobe
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

The instructions said to plant the seed in moist soil
and then worship whatever grows there
a south wind whispered to me as I turned the soil
the sky kept watch as I planted and prayed
I am a man of spirit

Facing our jealousy is an act of courage and authenticity, and we can sincerely tell ourselves that by doing so we are helping others.
