3/10/19: Morning Jambalaya

7:05 am I awake in a muddle. A mild mental puddle. A moment melding freely. With the jungle and all I see. The dog brings me back from my fuddle. 7:20 am I return to my desk after feeding Roxy. I'd been in the above-mentioned mental state. Barely-awake and somehow thinking I was going to [...]

3/9/19: Bad Ass

We do all we can. Keep it together. We follow the plan. Looking out for stormy weather. All we ever wanted now seems a wasted opportunity. For understanding how to achieve some continuity. With culture in shambles. With poetic rambles. A love growing old. And blood bought and sold. To the bad ass. He or [...]

3/8/19: Simple Beauty, Simple Feeling

Amazement of this kind is rarely felt twice. Life quickly wears it down. ------ Gaston Bachelard ------ Simple enjoyment in every moment. Sharing beauty so fragile. So completely in the here and now. A slight deterioration along one edge. Integral to appreciation. How? ------ Flowers are lovely; Love is flower-like; Friendship is a sheltering tree; [...]

3/7/19: THIS moment…

7:02 am In THIS moment, I breath in the constant gratitude. As it says in the song... It’s only ever after All my love and laughter Shout from hall and rafter All and all and all and all… ------ Yesterday... was an especially challenging day to drive. Never mind the usual Honolulu rush-hour traffic. Backed [...]

3/6/19: Qarrtsiluni

Sitting together (the key to understanding this) In the darkness (the challenge to ego and proclivity) Waiting (the unavoidable practice) For something to happen (also translated as "something to burst or break") ------ The future is dark only in that it is unknown The past is dark only in that it is unexplored The here and [...]

3/4/19: For a moment…

"Brian, Brian!" I awake to see my roommate's excited face smiling down at me. For a moment... I'm not sure where I am. "Sorry I'm in your bed Aaron." "Never mind that, I've been seeing 23's all morning Brian." "Yea, so... ?" I roll out of the bottom bunk where I'd been napping. I usually [...]

3/3/19: Pre-Morning and then…

“If I had more time, I would’ve made this shorter.” ------ Mark Twain -------------------------------------------------- 5:41 am Awake before the birds. That first thrush with the human-like whistle won't be up for a while yet. Insects only now. And Waimanalo Stream. Not so loud as before. The winter rains, subsiding. I look back on a day [...]

3/2/19: Untitled Love

Flat on my back In the sand My love, right here Right here And A thousand miles away We laugh, together I dream about forever May she never, never cry Again I'm not a fool But for you My love, right now Right now How This buffoon held at bay I slip, my tether She [...]
