Memorial Day 2017

Living between 

two eternities,

we return to 

where it began.

---------------------------------

If you do not hear

Spirit's voice, it's not because

the talking has stopped.

----------------------------------

Nobody cares

what your major was.

They want to know 

what you will do.

-------------------------------

I'm on a path which

I never anticipated. 

It's pretty cool.

--------------------------------

I'm happiest, 

(also most in love), 

when I bring 

everything I've got. 

--------------------------------

When I think about

how I can be of service, 

I first start at home.

--------------------------------

Not seeing 
a world of abundance:
the biggest hindrance
to peace.

----------------------------------

My dad's fake Rolex
is frozen, the hands 
don't move.
There is only now.

----------------------------------

I really meant that.
It was not flattery,
simply a compliment.

----------------------------------

It's unhealthy to say,
"That's just the way it is."
It need not be so.

Compassion must be a reflection.
I give it.
I also need it.

---------------------------------------

My heart knows the way.
I plan to follow it.
What else could I but do?

--------------------------------------

Another fence jumper
at the White House.
Were they running in,
or out?

--------------------------------------

Problems: if you spot 'em, you got 'em. 

It's better to plan for the best.

--------------------------------------

To enjoy peace and calm,
meditate every day.
This is Om's Law.

--------------------------------------

Sometimes I go
the extra mile,
others sitting still,
writing my poems.
