Seen & Noted



2:59 am
The electro-shock fear sends a jolt to the gut
Eyes pop open from a turbulent dream
The moon whispers through the window

January Dreams


Pulled into the middle of January with thoughts of fresh beginnings while the slow workings of past karma continue to play out.  Choppy waves all around and the stormy tears of the world flow.  The interior center is peaceful but does it have any connection to the so called "real world"?  And although the deep water is still the storm on the surface affects.  Quiet...and see the moon rise in the low gradation of dusk light or the graceful cool shadows cast across the freeway as a heated discussion rages inside the car.

Notes on the Path


Wandering around making notes, wanting an idea to bubble up and take hold.

Faces in the Day

Gray mid November Monday.  The Holidays and the end of the year arising fast. Wanting to sit in the slowness of the present moment.

The Cape

At the urging of his daughter, the middle aged man put on a cape and a crash helmet before going to work.  He vowed to keep it on all day.  He felt transformed and the world seemed to treat him differently.  No large heroic acts where performed, only small politenesses and smiles given and received.  These did seem to make a difference.  At the end of the day the man went home, took off the cape and helmet, sat down to face his mountain of bills to pay, the low balance alert from the bank, news about the war on terror, and all the small failures life brings. A sadness welled up inside.  He thought of the cape and decided to put it back on.
