Roll The Clocks Back
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
Grab happiness now
Sadness is lurking
Eventually it will spring
Grab happiness now
Sadness is always nearby. Don’t wait to grab happiness!
Freedom: Speech vs Lunch
Both lunches and speech
They are striving to be free
Each in its own way
I’ve thought about the intersection of these two conceptions of freedom for some time. Working on capturing the subtle distinctions between the two ideas.
West of invective
At times I weary
All this invective burning
I’m charred and hollow
A Morning Meditation
Forcing wakefulness
I resist vigorously
Weariness grinds
I pull my dust together
And rise
Wednesday, traveling at high speed: A Haiku
Wednesday had gone past
So very much has been done
Longing for the trees
Denying Hope
So much of life lost
Since we deny so much hope
Leaves starting to fall
Writing’s Mystery
Amusing
How I put pen to paper
Expecting certain words
To flow gracefully
I’m always surprised
At what lands upon
The page
A birthday meditation
Compline sung again
Mark another year of life
I am richly blessed
