Growth for as long as you live
seems a good thing.
But perhaps, at some point,
a better thing is to give back
while you still can.
Rather than pressing ever onward
and taking it all with you.

Friday, August 12th, 2022Wisps of futures evaporating,
age stealing the endless time,
this very place unbecoming,
as I consider mine.
And, as it has always been,
I am surprised to be here now
where my lessening
is the result of time.
Should I swim and struggle
so near the drain,
and try to deny the truth
and invite the pain?
Or should I
embrace the coming moment
when all that I was
will have no name?
There’s a truth here
that folds into itself
and hears its own sigh.
A truth that stands breathless
beneath an endless sky
and feels the fading
of an unbelieving I.

Tuesday, August 30th, 2022Turn the jewel
and see it all at once.
This instant; moving, still,
and endless.
Both creator and created
all of it, here and there,
now and then,
forever.
This moment,
pregnant with itself,
intentions and manifestations,
all one.
Being the endless now
and seeing
time and space,
all one.
Even acceptance fades
before the truth
when the last
separation ends.
The immanent manifest,
is-ness welling,
the joy of being,
undiluted.
