More 17's

Love is otherworldly,

but heartbreak is too much

of the planet.

Buddha taught we’re each given

ten thousand joys

and ten thousand sorrows.

Sometimes when I wake,

it’s too, too dark, but I know

the light is coming.

Why do the French bother

with all those letters

when they don’t pronounce them?

The whole point about teaching

is to remove the need

for the teacher.
-----------------------------------------

I do prefer literature 
to money,
but not to poetry.

-----------------------------------------
To enjoy peace and calm,
meditate every day.
It's Om's Law.

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

You are.
Be still and know
you are both
the singer and the song.
You are.

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

You are.
Be still and know
you are both
the sculptor and the marble.
You are,
-----------------------------------------

You are.
Be still and know
you are both
the painter and the paint.
You are.

Red, white and blue,
divided by orange,
equals
dark night of the soul.
