Being anything with yourself
is harder than being
anything with anyone else
Let’s start with forgiveness
forgiving others is easy
we all do it
all of the time
But when was the
last time that you
forgave yourself or let’s
try selfishness we all
have been selfish with
others but when was
the last time you
allowed yourself to be
selfish with you being
almost anything with yourself
is in fact the
cornerstone of your happiness
No not your happiness
with others but only
your happiness with yourself

Want
Learn to disavow need
and begin to practice
want needing anything needing
anyone is slavery not
freedom freedom expresses itself
by choice not need
Step away from needs
make do do without
with out isn’t scarcity
scarcity is a by-product
of need abundance is
the expression of want
Mango (for Bean)
And a brown skinned
lad wandered away from
his house and towards
his home leaving his
family to search for
that which he sought
A very specific mango
tree which stood precisely
where he’d planted it
To this brown skinned
lad this tree said
home more than any
other place for its
roots were indeed his
Habanero (for Alex)
And like the pepper
as we age we
do develop different colors
and hopefully our spiciness
never diminishes but maybe
it adopts a new
patina causing those who
know to appreciate it
Almost everything when fresh
is allegedly better sought
after then quickly consumed
but there are other
things that when aged
become even more treasured
especially by those who
are willing to wait
Giants
If the mountains were
trees I’d know north
for from my little
birdhouse tucked quietly under
the arm of this
concrete monolith I can
see that moss has
crept up the sides
of the foot hills
Oh I know that
mountains aren’t trees and
the moss that I
see indeed are but
there’s something to be
said about the scale
of life for don’t
we all believe that
we’re giants living in
our own little worlds
