Pure Seed: Resilience
zero is not a number but one is. infinity lives between -1, 0, and 1. movement is the reaction regenerative. universal reality is a mesh of fractal fabric. we are a part, never apart. act. breathe. dance. live. move. we walk a path into the stars; as for long and long told by ancients; our only work is to assure the future. snarled in recursion, we must again adapt. it is already happening, the abrasion, it is already happening, the abjuration, this butterfly tsunami on the hill; placid, vacuous smiles, ‘oh, so pretty’. get thee to the library, the local […]

Track title: Takers
The weight of the world ain’t always divine,Keep my head held up, won’t let it decline.My chin may droop, but my spirit stays fine,Heart rising above, leaves worries behind. Life can be a weight, pressing on the chest,Must say it out straight, sometimes get depressedWish I could go home, right back to the nestBut I never had that option to rest It may look selfish but it’s just the truthIt ain’t help if it drains away your youth When you’re all alone in this universeYou learn to be strong though it makes you curseLean on the wrong one and it […]
street corner maitri
I love you, you stranger on a street corner you of frazzled face and polished shoes with your vente latte and your impatience the world on a string, incessant tugging halos and horns and wing-tip shoes seersucker smoothness and a wall street journal keeping up appearances because you never knew the joneses but the jones for being what appearance implies is such delicious and elusive prey I loved you before I knew you all six years old and careful observer not sure why tailored suits and shiny shoes “meant something” but it must be important because it kept daddy too […]
Yashodhara
The illusion of self Set forth as other Using dichotomy against itself Via dakini’s warm breath The Buddha, curious, going beyond Three times gone, westward, some say Away from having and not Away from holding and not Away from giving and not A triple jewel, refracting Interlacing, the universe, Quantum nothingness; In which everything is, In which everything is not, In which the middle between, The paradoxical phase; Move/Rest 1/0 True/False Imponderable infinity Rendered a slash She inhales war She exhales peace Replication complete: Commutativity
Communativity matters
To kneel at the feet of the guru; awed by the mystery To weep freely before the cultural hymn of a symphony To speak wildly regardless both cacophony and irony To stand with intention at once serene and communally To commit as do you to peacefulness or tomfoolery To suffer no demand that benefits an individual more than the specie To endure as well as possible the inevitability of my own hypocrisy To burn until the fuel of myself-ness, exhausted, mutters quietly To thereafter gather the leavings rendered most literally To scatter, to undo, to ease and release as community […]
Ah, bow dee chee tah
I want to sacrifice myself spread-eagle on a mountaintop; flesh-freed and soul-lifted, flit into the trees, the sky I ponder immortal impossibilities content myself with the 2nd law never dying, shifting forms, a return to the place before I was born The pun of the vas defer ens: halls of the fathers, I smile; life is rarely solemn, too busy bubbling for egress, release The vast differences of life diversity in which rests strength; a lesson that sapient, mammal apes seem oddly loathe to embrace By thinking, too inured to think; in thinking, too short of sight; myopic multitudes, among […]
