A day in the life
From the morning’s first inklings
Ending with kindness,
Patience,
Forbearance,
And with such comfort and equanimity,
Wandering through life’s many twists and turns,
Perhaps thinking you’re escaping, but run into yourself.
Love loves to love love.
Walking through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love,
Always meeting ourselves,
To remain humble to learn.
To awaken from a vision as to be born.
Can’t bring back time. Like holding water in your hand.
Can’t change the world, but we can change the subject.
Thought is the thought of thought.
Me.
And me now.
Be just before you are generous.
Be kind always.
Even in the darkness of your soul,
A darkness shining in brightness which brightness could not comprehend;
As I am. As I am. All or not at all.
…and yes I said yes I will Yes.
