Don't miss where you're not.
It doesn't exist.
Observation
An observation occurs at a given time
only in that we are aware of it and give it a ranking,
a number on a scale of other numbers,
each with a feeling attached,
ascending or descending
the elevator of our preferences.
The Idea of a Center
It’s so much easier
if we just give up
the idea of a center.
Now
If an atomic clock can break a second into 9 billion smaller pieces,
who can live in the now?
All Birthing
The whole process of our lives just occurs,
and from behind the occurrence of events,
after our thoughts have caught up with us, we say,
"yes, I planned that."
And we did,
as much as we planned our births.
Ends are Means
For some people the ends justify the means.
For others, the means are fundamental.
This can be summarized as then and now.
But if the present is eternal,
ends and means are the same.
What the Gecko Told Me Yesterday
What they gecko told me yesterday
the cricket confirmed.
The dove, though in agreement,
spoke over the span of a dozen wing beats.
A small bat struggling in the water of my pool
reminded me of how valuable is all life,
no matter how small.
Each contains the whole universe.
Gravity of Signs
Some signs appear heavier than others in the context of signs.
If we focus too much on them,
their value, the manner of their appearance,
we miss the other signs blooming around us,
their colors and fragrances
lost to the untrained eye.
Ambition
Aspirations change us from time to time and
we embark on something we think we believe in
but is maybe not suited for us,
and after being exposed to the tyranny of ambition -
of getting more of something we aren’t sure of -
we lose so much of what we are.
Originality
Every beginning spawns a million more,
every path leads to a billion forks,
a billion forks to a trillion possibilities.
