Be at home 1/25/20

Be at home  

With your

Contradictions

Sometimes in the course of my day

The plans I laid wind up  in decay

Most of the time I can see my good fortune

I have been served such a generous portion

Once in a while

Without any style

I wine and complain

From a whole different brain

But this is the hand that I was dealt

So I'll play it with gratitude & stealth

Be at home

With your

Contradictions

Fit 3/21/20

No one gets fit 

By being lucky

So much of what I do today

Is just past choices that I repay

My days are ruled by habit and routine

I'm like some kind of do over machine

This propensity is just like cold beer

It can wreck your life or bring good cheer

I can use this force to change my life

To get fit and sharp like a hunting knife

Lady luck has been kind to me 

Good habits help but there's no guarantee

Know one gets fit

Bye babe Lucky

Slow down 3/19/20

Slow down 

The

Dieing process

Eat your spinach get lots of sleep

Look both ways before you leap

Staying healthy takes study and thought

It's worth the effort don't get distraught 

Eat lots of veggies nuts and seeds

Be kind and gentle do good deeds

Drink spring water and exercise

Stay the course don't compromise

There's no way out we're all dead meat

Sing and dance till your times complete

Slow down

The

Dieing process

Make them feel 3/14/20

People forget what you 

Say and do

But not how you 

Make them feel

Skunk cabbage fresh and green

Clustered around a cold high stream

Aprils song is loud and clear

Noisy brooks and skinny deer

Lawns and pastures all agleam

Just awoke from a long cold dream

All is well have no fear

Winters gone and spring is here

People forget what you

Say and do

But not how you 

Make them feel

Chance 2/26/20

One more chance 

Maybe

The days come and go at and accelerating pace

With all that I learned it still seems like a race

What's of value what should I do

Be kind and loving till I'm through

Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff and the Buddha we're clear

If I fix my head there will be nothing to fear

Meditate, study and hang out with great minds

I'll stay cool, collected and write some neat rhymes

Make the most of today it may be my last

80 years have raced by incredibly fast

Promise 2/23/20

The promise of a sunny day   

Glows below the horizon

A flight of noisy geese

The crunch of frozen grass

Under my bare feet

Gleeful gratitude

Radiates this incident

Death is later

This is now

All is well

2/24/20 day 23,331

See it small 2/23/20

See it small

Keep

It complicated

Think about it forever

Try not to risk anything

Create detailed plans

That cover every possible contingency

If it becomes difficult

Quit and start something else

After you think about it forever

Be sure to stay outside your expertise

See is small

Keep

It complicated
