friend

a true friend is a gift

tree

when a tree dies

sometimes it puts out leaves for a couple of years

sometimes three

life

life apperars to be a jump ball

it seems to me


ain't nobody winning

and nobody knows what to do next

humans

it seems to me

that perhaps we were to be the gardeners


yet we are currently the plague

why are we here

seemed as good a question as any to me

we humans

we are so subsecptable

to taking our self too seriously

and not seriously enough

science

seeking to be the new priesthood

but i ain't going for that one either

it's just as dumb as all the other control freek orders

life

there is how we look

and how we see


and what we think

and what we be


and life is what we are

there is how you look

and there is how you are

human

the defination of human


the most ignorant and selfish creature on the planet


the pride and arrogance give us away

if one has a head

one will have to have a tail

to be complete

here in the land of two

life

life has told me i should speed it up a little

a few times

and life has told me i should slow it down a little

a few times


but life has never told me i should quit

Marjory Miller

Terri and I

Are taking up where she left off

Helene Hanff

just posted that name for the same reason

The Duchess Of Bloomsbury Street

just put that up there to see is anyone was googeling that


would be real surprised

another book i am about to read

its a book i found on a book shelf

in a house we just bought


"The Duchess Of Bloomsbury Street"

by Helene Hanff


have only read two paragraphs

but expect to read this book


those two paragraphs really appealed to me

security

the more security we experience

the less freedom we experience


maximum security is a prison

everyone

every male being is my brother

every female being is my sister

and that is the truth



my opinions are of no value at all

or my likes and dislikes

and that is the truth

if your me

fear

our little brother

which we so often try to deny

when in doubt

face your self

for peace to be on the land

all that is required

is to coopreate with life


but so few in our time have noticed life


life is not someones idea of what we should be

life is what we are


and are is the clue

as is am

public

do you know what that word means

greed

pretty hard to find a greater curse than greed

all that taking and never giving

such leads to great emptiness


the trick is in giving what needs to be given

not what you want to give


want is another curse word


as is will


and mine


and yours


and them and theirs

jealousy and envy

happiness is pretty hard to find from there

mostly just hardship and sorrow

and the occasional little gratification

sneaky

what people become

when they don't want others to know who the really are

and what they are trying to do
