               With attention ... you are here, now.
               With habit replacing attention
               you are lazy with success
               until generalization occurs...
               and the action no longer suits the set
               ... time to make contact again.
               Wishing for Joy makes for unhappiness
               for the scales will not be tipped.
               And, like the miser who fears
                 when he has money and craves it
                 when he doesn't
               you wishes are your curse
               Love and Hate
               Joy and Sorrow
               Yin and Yang
               All relative
               in this our vail or tears or joy
               we choose.

1972-12-05 – Sensitivity training –

Tuesday, December 5th, 1972
                       - Sensitivity training -
               I flew on wings of silver gilded steel
                 into a sky of green
               and turned to find your eyes on me
                 with a look I'd never seen.
               I'll lay me down on your eyes of joy
                 to feel the love you see
               and like the bird that flies between the trees
                 I am you and then I am me...
               Hold me in your eyes that way
                 I love what you can see.
                                       gallagher

1973-06-07 The photograph album

Thursday, June 7th, 1973
                       The photograph album
            Looking at the photographs
              I could sense the number of times
            her eyes and hands had passed here
              on baby pictures and friends long gone.
            As if she had written them there,
              her feelings came to life in me
            and stopped my eyes
              on those moments of time...
            I wish she were here now to hold her
              and her dreams.
