Joy

if it brings you joy,
and it doesn't make me unhappy,
let's do it

It's Magic

Always be yourself,
unless you can be a
magician.
Then be that.

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

The strongest people
I know ask for help
when they are
in need of it.

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

Hurray!
Hurray!
Once more,
it’s cataract surgery day.

(I’m hungry)

After the Cataract

All those mistakes we make?
Amazingly, no one
really notices.

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

When you love someone,
there's no need to do the math.
No calculating.

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

It's not a
normally
kind of day.
It's the second
cataract day


Mediocrity

It’s fine to be
whole-heartedly mediocre
at some daily tasks.

In my lifetime,
hope and despair
have been the same as
greed and anger.

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

Sometimes, I’m like
an old, blind dog,
running full speed
into the darkness.

 --------------------------------

Summer in San Diego
can be a
grand and fanciful story.

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

I find beauty in
unexpected moments,
like opening prize doors.

The days after the Kitty Scan

I try to show
my spiritual self
as harmlessly as I can.

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

It’s the little things
that trip me up,
take attention
from my purpose.

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

When the time comes,
I’ll not be alone.
They’ll all be there
to greet me.

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

Writing these seventeen’s
can be an effort,
unless I just speak truth.

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

Food, medicine, clothing shelter.
It’s all that monks need.
Why not me too?

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

We are all
just passing through.
Might as well do so
with joy and laughter.

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

Rejoice in the day,
walk more slowly,
maybe even felling groovy.

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


Contentment reaches me
when I realize
just how much
is enough.

June 8

Nobody cares
what your major was.
They want to know 
what you will do.

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



When you find yourself
in a room, best assume that
you do belong there.

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


Don't let people
who don't matter too much
matter too much.
Really.
Don't.

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


I'm enjoying 
this stage of my life,
where I can say no,
without guilt.

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

I'm happiest, 
(also most in love), 
when I bring 
everything I've got. 

------------------------------------------
I’ll see it
when I believe it.
That’s how it is.
“It” has no shortcuts.

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

No one but me is
in charge of my happiness.
I’m laughing out loud.

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

No matter how uneasy
some days are,
I recall that
I chose them.

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

What I picture is
what I create.
I am choosing
the best outcome.
