We learn all the time, that’s for sure. We don’t have to go to school to learn, but when we go to school we learn there too. What is it that we learn? That is the question, an important one, the only one that really matters. What do we learn? Once that question is discovered,…

Chasing is exhausting Yet we chase We are born into the race And so we learn to hurry up From early on Tired the norm Our state of being Hard to remember Anyway There is no time for that Remembering Life’s too short for that Who wants to live in the past Anyway Let alone…
Laughing again
There is agony and ecstacy in living deeply with awareness rather than hiding and lying to ourselves as we pass through our days just existing or surviving So I choose awareness questioning and risk I allow myself to question the reason and feel the emotion by which I live I consider the longings and desires buried…
