NIce guy. he is considering monk-dom. i have considered and must get back to "real life" now. i suppose. i have pets and things to take care of right? i would love to spend some time in the woods hiking. i have some ideas of jobs for now. like returning to The Village for a time. There are other opportunitites as well. but i have things to take care of in Knoxville less i give up the cat and dog to the ex. hard to do. so... we continue on. i am grateful for everyone who has helped me. all my teachers, friends, and family. thanks for your support on this journey of mine/yours. never-ending it is right? less, i realize the unconditioned. though i here it is right here, right now😊 wish me luck on the road and traveling on. thanks again to Arrow River. Nice community here. I have enjoyed Thunder Bay, got to know the area and the people a little. The First Nation tribe, Lakehead University, Esco, Ajahn, thank you.

Grey Wolf lodge and the Indian wheel teachings. I learned about them from people at the book club. I have one more meal to serve tomorrow. Then Friday I am off. It is bitter-sweet. It is stange in this transitory state but it keeps me on my toes. I feel like I have gone through treatment myself and now could relate more others who have.

Well, here is another:



what's the last thing you do before bed? say a prayer, lye instead?

just before eyes close

the last word, thought of home

what do you do just before sleep

before the night takes you

deep, deep

what, pray tell, do you think

of night without wings

wink, wink

what do you say at midnight hour

the holiest of time

gone sour

a whistle of light

a flash of sound

what do you think when its time to sink

forgotten worlds, hidden songs

lay down your head, sleep now

let the little bird sing you to sleep

let it sing

let the little bird sing sing sing

what do you do before, before

long lost love

egore, egore

bring dreams alive back from sleep

bring 'em back

bring 'em back

let them speak

what do you do when all is lost

carry a sword

forget and toss

what do you say when words are lost

nothing more

nothing less

words unspoken, words now gone

go to bed little birdie

go to bed!

what, dear one, are you thinking (or not) as you close your eyes...





one more:



No Separation



there's no seperation, there's no seperation

material, spiritual, samsara, nibbana



there's no seperation

theres no seperation

where are we going, going here

spirit is flowing, flowing quite near

theres no seperation, no seperation

spirit is walking in flesh and blood

heaven quite near, near as your heart



no seperation, theres no seperation

speak to me now now and forever

forever and ever seeing together

theres no seperation, no seperation

bring these words to your mond

heaven is here

spirit divine human heart let shine

theres no seperation, theres no seperation
