The morning starts with
a blush as though
the buildings and mountains
were both embarrassed by
something said or done
High gray clouds hover
like paparazzi poised to
snap at the tiniest
suggestion of rain and
now as the sun
slowly stretches behind the
eastern sky like a
shy school boy raising
his hand bathing windows
with deep bright orange
as though whatever secret
the buildings and mountains
hide is hopelessly true

BeingAnything
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
Serenity
Serenity is like a
delicately placed parfum meant
to allure and entice
to trail behind and
never announce to catch
those unaware to calm
those anxious to pause
life and allow those
wandering through its path
a moment to ponder
and to wonder the
most seductive delicious thought
of all what if
