Today floats like a raincloud,
One in a sea of miles and miles;
One in a sea of miles and miles;
Showering flowering...
Spring.
Spring.
...
Lay out there side by side
Covered with monkey grass
Pebbles.Grains of sand.
Sea gulls fly overhead making
Sounds that lift eyes from
Mounds to sky.
That's the last thing we saw today
A seagull flew so far and high
That it disappeared into the sky.
...
We cry some days.
We laugh some days.
Sometimes we are serious.
Sometimes we are silly.
Always we are human.
We're all in it together.
every day
We're all in it together.
every day
...
~~TODAY~~a vast panarama--
In every direction
changing, changing, changing
There was a time we thought we were moving
Now we think we are still
and everything else is moving
changing, changing, changing
There was a time we thought we were moving
Now we think we are still
and everything else is moving
Which is which,
One?
The Other?
One?
The Other?
Neither?
Both?

It rained.
We played around on deck for a while in
the rain, soaking up those big, wet,
delicious drops and licking it off ourlips as
it streamed down our face.
It was big fun!
It was big fun!

Today
There's the sound of Seagulls,
Surf lapping so lazily that for
sure it must be about to fall asleep.
Sand dunes, rustling sea oats,
Salty breezes stirring up feelings of
bliss...

Salty breezes stirring up feelings of

no tongue cantell it.
So mysterious,
Only No mind can know it.

"That's silly,"
said old man hinder-icks,
as he scratched his stubbly chin with one
of his long, strong, bony toes.

Today
(modified...it's all zen...) :-)
One job to do:
One job and one job only:
Take care of self.
Live.
When walking walk .
When sitting, sit.
Talking, quiet;
Moving, stillness,
The calm within
Inside this moment...
Moment to Moment.
...
With abundant rains,
The garden pond's full to
spilling over
Ground's steeped,
wetly glistening with
moon and stars;
Walk out with wonder and
wake forever
From long nights sleep.
