Oh I love this! And such a fascinating photo as well! Hope all is well with you! I’ve missed your lovely poetry, but maybe I’ll have a little more time in 2014… Hopefully things are getting, or going to get, better! :D (((Hugs))) to you and yours!
Being in the now and just being are the only way to be. But it’s amazing how our big brains take over and want to occupy us with thoughts of yesterday or tomorrow! I love that song by the way (Such Great Heights) – so good! :o)
I am thinking it’s a sign
that the freckles in our eyes
are mirror images and when we kiss
they’re perfectly aligned

such great heights / iron and wine
Your words are always so different, they dance beautiful in the air, leaving me speechless.
love
and words
always interweave
spirals of light
and life
“be here/just be” is a poem/life on its own.
thanks kozo

a life philosophy
slowing down life
appreciating the beauty
before the wind
brushes it away
breathing
each moment…
lovely… very Buddhist.
only recently
I’ve been introduced
~
starting
to enjoy
nothingness
mixing with
everything
Consider reading the writings of Dogen… 12th century Buddhist Monk.. founder of the zazen branch of Buddhism.
Your poetry reminds me me very much of his. One of my favorite’s of his.:
Viewing Peach Blossoms and Realizing the Way
In spring wind
peach blossoms
begin to come apart.
Doubts do not grow
branches and leaves.
wow
~
i love that poem
thanks so much
for introducing it
to me
To be present, ultimately and entirely present is the greatest achievement one can hope to reach.
And also – yet again our music tastes align..
sadly
escape in distraction
negates
some of
life’s most pleasurable
attractions
Love the last two lines, as well as the song. So many different covers for it.
maybe
there’s nothing more wonderful
than being
a being
Good advice! Peace love and truth

The pleasure is mine friend. I appreciate the support you offer.
focus on here
be only present
sometimes

my only gift
merely presenting

Standing here in my kitchen, grinning–how lovely to hear the sound of your voice…and these lovely words.
thank you
~
it’s been fun
exploring
new interpretations
with
sound
I should tell you how much I enjoy the audio; it adds greatly to the work. Beautiful
thank you
~
lots of fun
adding
to the experience
You’re welcome.
On the rise.
