EMOTIONAL ALMANAC

WHEN GRIEF HITS
and we cannot digest
We turn to food as medicine
Neighbors bring pot luck
Family gathers for a wake
More than distraction-
focusing upon digestion
allows butterflies to sit
and emotions to glow both hot and distant
There is NO EXIT from this earth
(we will all be compost for the worms)
Yet voluntary departures mean
we share the grief as food for thought
 moving meditation(loss-
is always for the living...


REGRETS ,WORRY,FEAR
excess baggage -here,clear!
what happens independent of emotion
malice extra.lazy actor.cinema verite.(yawn!
Hit yourself!Save me the time and energy!
False gods every where-demanding obesience
Fear,worry,regret makes us smaller
In the larger world,they do not exist-
ask animals as they leap without limit
There is simply WHAT IS
All the rest is sugar coating saccharine -not even stevia!
What happens next unknown to all of us..
Extend your emotional repertoire!
Imagine your alternatives!
