A Blizzard of One:

From the shadow of domes in the city of
domes,
A snowflake, a blizzard of one, weightless,
entered your room
And made its way to the arm of the chair
where you, looking up
From your book, saw it the moment it
landed. That’s all
There was to it. No more than a solemn
waking
To brevity, to the lifting and falling away
of attention, swiftly,
A time between times, a flowerless
funeral. No more than that
Except for the feeling that this piece of
the storm,
Which turned into nothing before your
eyes, would come back,
That someone years hence, sitting as you
are now, might say:
“It’s time. The air is ready. The sky has
an opening.”- Mark Strand

tell me and i will forget
show me and i may remember
involve me and i will understand

"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things."    - Ray Douglas Bradbury

i am mooing tonight ha

black drink

wabi sabi less is more

Ame ni mo makezu 
not losing to the rain
not losing to the wind
not losing to the snow nor to summer's heat
with a strong body
unfettered by desire
never losing temper
always quietly smiling
every day four bowls of brown rice
miso and some vegetables to eat
in everything
count yourself last and put others before you
watching and listening, and understanding
and never forgetting
in the shade of the woods of the pines of the fields
being in a little thatched hut
if there is a sick child to the east
going and nursing over them
if there is a tired mother to the west
going and shouldering her sheaf of rice
if there is someone near death to the south
going and saying there's no need to be afraid
if there is a quarrel or a lawsuit to the north
telling them to leave off with such waste
when there's drought, shedding tears of sympathy
when the summer's cold, wandering upset
called a nobody by everyone
without being praised
without being blamed
such a person
I want to become

dream high

i found myself smiling when looking at a picture that has genuine smile 

a combination of a fear of missing out, and a hope of being missed

a bit too early i know 

WL:	What reason do people have . . . to work . . . harder than—than they have to to earn a living?

DP:

I can answer that for you ’cause I’ve already worked it out for myself and argued the point with a good many men. It’s the satisfaction of feeling that you have accomplished something over . . . and above the bare necessities in life. You take a pride. . . of doing the best that you can according to your ability. . . . I don’t have to go fishing. I can quit right now . . . and be comfortable. But just as long as I draw the breath of life I’ll be down in my boat in the mornin', at six or half past six in the morning, bound somewhere, doing all that I can, as best as I can, to the best of my ability and knowledge . . . because I take a pride in doing that, somethin' I know, and I feel that I’m doing something . . . important. And I’m happier doin' that than I would be sittin' round t' the beach. A man with a New England conscience can’t sit still. Does that answer your question?

"...the key is to just relax and release, and deal only with what's left in front of you
 ...realize that life is giving you a gift, and that gift is the flow of events that takes place between your birth and your death. these events are exciting, challenging, and create tremendous growth. to comfortably handle this flow of life, your heart and mind must be open and expansive enough to encompass reality.......learn to stop resisting reality
...if you want to be content and enjoy your work, you have to let go of yourself and let events flow through you. your real work is what is left to do after all else passes through" -michael a. singer
