from Carlos Castanada

All paths
are the same,
leading nowhere.
Therefore, pick
a path with heart!

 

 

leaves frozen at the surface of a pond in the Cornell Botanic Garden... each one had absorbed the sun just enough to open a bit of space around itself... 1-22-17.

no matter
what happens
the buddha’s smile

 

Buddha face smile...
birch afterlife begun
birch shelf fungus
birch outback with fungus...
birch buns...
maple leaf sun lit
standing on the cliff overlooking the reservoir behind our house 9-28-16-
in bundled bunches a mess of milkweed seeds ready to go....-

late summer…
the trance of sun
on lily pads

 

 

late summer... the trance of light on lily pads
this quiet reach of trees and light...
in bundled bunches a mess of milkweed seeds ready to go....-
flowerfull display...
walking alone- submerged logs come to light ...

out of view
I read autumn poems
while my wife talks to a friend,
their light laughter
lifts me from the page
