to live and die . its right there inside

---

hello friends.

thanks for listening

hope you had a great weekend.

i certainly did

i bought some clothes

i made soup

i went to tai chi and danced

i listened to a ball game

i went to buddhist practice and chatted

with friends

i watched a movie

on the road

jack keroac

i learned of

el camino de santiago

more indepth

st james and moors and slaying with wooden crosses

images of death and high mountain passes

and sleeping on floors of courthouses

and churches

and hospitality

and nurturing

and doing ones dream

and then redoing it again

going back to where you left off

and trying it again and again

and writing



learning about the world

through books and being in it

in the world making soup and dancing tai chi

and all the rest

the world moves on

and sirens wail

and work beings anew

make each day count

travel the world in your car

let it take you

take you



may i be at the right place at the right time

may i spend time well spent

may we walk together in harmony

and face each moment bravely

and speak what is on ones mind

bravely

and sensitively



may the breeze be breeze

that now living force

that abiotic factor

that nonliving something

so the books say

that force of nature

that breaks mountains and churns up the sea and cools your face

of blows you off the nountain

nearly

but you grab hold and hold on for dear life

because you love it and you don't want to die

you want to live

and keep breathing

because you enjoi the suffering

you enjoi it because you know it will pass and things change and move

and then you are happy

because the day is done

and a new one will come

right?

hopefully
