affirmations constellations dreams and notions of a world where loving kindness lacking blindness seas and oceans thoughts unfurled of peace and mercy seize this day where friend and foe both stand and say we’re not divided not shortsighted none derided come what may.

When it’s finally temperate enough for every single window, nook and cranny to remain open twenty-four-seven, that’s what I call a beginning. The last couple of nights have been such. I have my bed ready for summer what with new fun springy sheets (and my “Linus blanket” thrown over for extra warmth if need be, although … Continue reading

I think we fall short on humility. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t say that with any degree of pride. Actually I say it with total unabashed down-on-my-knees-with-head-hanging-low humility. See how that goes? Nowadays so many seem so puffed up and assertive with needing to get stage time as they go about their day. … Continue reading

Published in the Piker Press I popped out my thumb and was hoping for a quick lift. Those down-and-outers were lurking about all day yesterday and through the night too. I just don’t have the strength to listen anymore- too tiring. And it’s demoralizing. I have places to go and my time around here’s become droll. A … Continue reading

It’s the quietness of my mind that I crave. Like when I was smaller, much younger. I would close my eyes while staring into the sun. I’d get amusement and something akin to inspiration, just by closing my eyes and looking as far ahead as I could; by squeezing them shut. All yellow and white and red … Continue reading
Rich stood in the aisle of the thrift shop looking at the bric-a-brac on the shelves, but had no plans to buy anything.
