in between




samhain, all hallow's eve, el dia de los muertos,
all soul's day, full moon,
dusk to dawn,
this is when the veil is thinnest,
when we can see beyond
our current frailties of perception.
dare we look?



now, if this doesn't twist a few perceptions, you are much too firmly entrenched in this reality:

core



i do not need to pretend that i am anyone other than myself. i do not need to feel insecure about my perceptions. the self-cultivation that i undertake is to perfect who i am, not to become someone other than who i am.

solutions




don't be afraid to explore;
without exploration there are no discoveries.
don't be afraid of partial solutions;
without the tentative there is no accomplishment.

lone pine wildlife

this little one was sitting
in the middle of horseshoe meadow road,
not doing much,
not moving very well.
i shooed him off to the side.
hope s/he's ok.
kinda doubt it.

completion



only when the last spoke
has been fitted to the wheel,
is there completion.

wrinkled




i am wrinkled in time,
in place, in space, in face,
in mind, in eye.
my thoughts are wrinkled
against the wonder.
