3/27/24The unexpected Lurks gleefully In every instant c

The unexpected
Lurks gleefully
In every instant

The same old thing keeps coming up
Sudden-death or just a broken cup
I stumble around in my last days
In the same old self-deluded hays
Life has never been this good
Because I never understood
It's not what happens that makes the day
But how I react and what I say
So from now on I'll pay attention
And give up all my apprehension

The unexpected
Lurks gleefully
In every instant

3/24/24 I'm nobody all Packed up to Go nowhere cc 3/27/18


I'm nobody all 
Packed up to
Go nowhere

I make such a big deal
About all that I feel
Then time sweeps it away
Like a snowstorm in May
So be of good cheer
The end is quite near

I'm nobody all
Packed up to
Go nowhere

3/21/24 cc Unite intent With action 5/26/18


Unite intent 
With action

My plans are laid
My bills are paid
Now is the time
For a new paradigm
I've got the notion
Now i'll get into motion
Live by my word
And not get deterred
Then in the end
I'll peacefully ascend

Unite intent
With action

3/18/24 Create a Raging Curiosity cc 6/2/18


Create a
Raging
Curiosity

I used to think that I could know
But now I know it was just a show
Read and study think and plan
do it for your whole lifespan span
And when your old you may realize
That few among us are ever wise
The wisest thing that they can bestow
You will never know what you don't know

Create a
Raging
Curiosity

3/15/24Take a fresh View Each instant is New cc9/1/17


Take a fresh
View
Each instant is
New

Every day
Starts the same old way
Coffee, shower and some writing
The morning stillness is so inviting
In just a moment it all can change 
And my whole life can be rearranged
Fire, flood or loss of power
Lottery win or happy hour
Stay alert you never know what's next
A forest fire or just a new text

Take a fresh
View
Each instant is
New

3/12/24 There is never anything "To get through" cc


There is never anything
"To get through"
It's just more practice
A building block in my
Growing repertoire of
Skillful responses

The greatest gift that time has given
Is to be grateful and never driven
Sometimes life's road gets really steep
A chance to learn and grow a heap
Or get depressed and just complain
But that only brings on more of the same
No one lives a perfect life
There will always be some kind of strife
Freedom lies in our reaction
So find the good and give it traction

There is never anything
"To get through"
It's just more practice
A building block in my
Growing repertoire of
Skillful responses

3/9/24 Stop chewing Your Pencil cc12/28/17


Stop chewing
Your
Pencil

I have no idea why I started it
My dear mom would throw a fit
I'm not talking about a few bite marks
Like it was attacked by a school of sharks
It's like so much else I learned to do
It made no sense but on I would chew
So now I'm old and I can see
That there's many ways that I can be
So now is the time to become responsible
To work hard and create what's possible

Stop chewing
Your
Pencil
