Hear them in art ,song,film,smiling
Connection to a sweetness and a garden
Sunshine and bright optimism
Signals beam intermittently
like some radio on high cat frequencies
Wise to dream one's way through this whirl
selecting visions as in an art gallery
4G ,3D and HD all @once-vivid ,vibrant
bright as one million stars
one ancient moon,and a sun that keeps on shining
seasonal as spring through winters
Emotions are orbits,too-
best to seek safe passage through

i woud not rely
upon art surviving me
whiskey will still be on the shelf
long after my USE BY date has expired
my father used to drink
long working days and violent nights
i am so very grateful for him
saving my life
as for Munch-i went to his cottage
in Oslo-where a madman in his clothes
impersonated him for tourist dollars
did you know he made copies
of SCREAM and WOMEN ON THE BRIDGE?
life is what i lust for-every diamond tear smile
every commingled flag emotion-every dance of Wu Li particles
as long as blood flows and feelings know
i will be attuned with moons and stars and dashing poets
putting their life to music
so they can see new stars!

DREAMING DARKNESS
welcome to winter,when the dark creeps in early
swallows light,and leaves us all alone
with only night and cold and rain and past to chew upon
drinking rain thoughts and chilled emotional reminders
my past resurrects as clear as mirrors
I see those i grew up with-those i love
they now have flesh ,and voices-stories
return from some deep space i dare not explore by daylight
Night covers all-and shares secrets
Dawn comes late-allowing a dream inn
where guests can check in or out by choice
i know some of them-i learn more
by allowing their dreams in to mine
Night is long as time.There is enough
i will wake up like Rip Van Winkle
when winter releases her cold love touch
swallows light,and leaves us all alone
with only night and cold and rain and past to chew upon
drinking rain thoughts and chilled emotional reminders
my past resurrects as clear as mirrors
I see those i grew up with-those i love
they now have flesh ,and voices-stories
return from some deep space i dare not explore by daylight
Night covers all-and shares secrets
Dawn comes late-allowing a dream inn
where guests can check in or out by choice
i know some of them-i learn more
by allowing their dreams in to mine
Night is long as time.There is enough
i will wake up like Rip Van Winkle
when winter releases her cold love touch
because i do not know
i send rescue dogs in to the snow
to retrieve any signs of life
buried in the storms
Certainty is a contract
one can sue upon
Our daily doings disappoint
when we cannot measure up
On we go!Days dissolving doors
open in to a field
where right and wrong no longer apply
"I will meet you there"

Rain.Cold.Dark.Chill
time for flu and colds and ill
ness follows where sun cannot
(Wear your sunshine on the inside-
Time to turn from narcissist to altruist
To be of use to others/not just ego
What if this world did not have you?
It did not(once)and will again
While you are here,in cold and wet and rain
time to be of sunshine and of Light
Remember every day changes the dice of night

HOW TO MAKE HUMAN ERORS
Apgar Score for newborn infants has 5 criteria-
heart rate,breathing,reflexes,muscle tone and color
Dawes Formula for marriage survival is simple-
frequency of love making over frequency of arguing
Both formulae have higher success rates than intuition
the quick brown fox that makes snap judgements ,then rationalizes them
Were we to examine evidence before passing opinions
we would expend energy,attention and time
without a necessary belief in that processes' efficacy
Daniel Kahneman gave us ILLUSIONS OF VALIDITY
ENDOWMENT EFFECTS and AVAILABILITY EFFECTS
He avoided the works of Freud and James-even when they were complementary
We are human.We make mistakes.Minimizing these requires attention to processes
and the more scientific they are,the more accurate the results.
This goes against the whole grain of "first thought=best thought" Zen
and requires a rigor that gossip columns,paparazzi photographers and tabloids lack
Rush to judgement impales Sarah Palin and Herman Cain,as it did Clinton
Trial by media is as real as tomorrow's headlines.Ignore astrology.Trust nothing.
"The unexamined life is not worth living".LIVE!

cycles and seasonings
i count my days by who is lost-
those lovely folk who are not here with us
today i found the image of a friend
who will not be here again
and those on lip of leaving
getting silent as the grave
dark nights are made for grieving
to the seasons we are slaves
i have neither mind nor power
to change what rules over
our tiny ant Imperial Empires
laughable from Space
we are so small(hardly count at all)
yet Festivals remind us-we are seasons...

"life and life only"
somewhere there is a key
that will unlock our habits
and let us release/our very best impulses
into immediate actions
if we think we are locked in
we must think we need a key
if we feel that we are free
we are not under lock or key
much of this labyrinth is self made
it lasts as long as you cast in iron
what once was born in fog
(Definition recasts every one)
it is the way we choose to see and feel
that distinguishes fantasy from real
that will unlock our habits
and let us release/our very best impulses
into immediate actions
if we think we are locked in
we must think we need a key
if we feel that we are free
we are not under lock or key

i hereby declare independence
from any vibration that does not serve my higher purpose
from any abuse or limitation
from any action that seeks to confine,control or connive
I declare interdependence with my chosen friends and allies
those companions of heart and soul and mind
that affirm and connect and validate my choices
I am one with all that is harmony and Light
i am part of the happiest part of all
that rings bells of flowers and sings colorful gardens
Where is this secret best part of me?
LOOK IN YOUR MIRROR!

MEDIA/TION ATION
If i do not trust my own eyes,
ears,hands,feet-nor capacity
to hear,see,absorb,respond,reach
It might well be that nothing sings
apart from tea kettling
If a man in a suit unknown to me
advises on a person unknown to me
about a situation over which i have no control
so be it.There is no time for meddling.
If,on the other hand,no solutions present themselves
and we are forced to be free enough to critically analyze
Is this where salvation comes?From the amateur and the poet?
Sprinkle words like ink upon this tattooed page
"All the world's a stage"
Face the rage.

what is "true" for you
awakening over passages of time
connecting with consonant souls
listening,absorbing,emitting response
birdcalls in the shadow trees of night
for every bird,a different nest
a way of signalling ,a test
to see if we are fully here or no
"can you hear me now?"
means and modes vary as the heat
turns chill in emotional reach
Patience the lesson we both learn and teach
Decide when /whether to stay,persist-or leave...
Conversation implies we are fully present
Where did it go?(this unique moment....

AKASHIC RECORDS
Every butterfly suicide,every sparrow glass tragedy
every seagull flying into aircraft engines
Every bug and rat and shark,snake,spider
All the wretched of this earth.All are one
Their GPS mole movements tracked and traced
Migration patterns,birthing,monitors attached
to wings and fur and feathers.They know where to go
when eggs demand hatching,and krill request devouring
If penguins can be so clown wise
why cannot we respect those spaces of our origins?
