Youโre in the smell of the jungle brush
and the windโs cool touch
โ
Youโre in the bird chatter
and the roof rain pitter patter
โ
Youโre in the deep night moon light
and the sunrise brights
โ
Youโre in my heart and in my mind
Forever before and endlessly forward
Intertwined

Impermanence
Life reveals to us itโs game nature,
and yet demands respect.
โ
It is continuous chaos, a ceaseless breaking of itself –
of reality and what we planned it to be.
And yet, it calls on us each time to rebuild
with the acknowledgment that it may be futile
because inevitably,
storms will come again.
Thatโs survival.
โ
Thatโs the work –
Developing the strength of endurance
and the flexibility of acceptance.
โ
It is coming to terms with the paradox of truth –
That this earthly work is of paramount importance
and also
all that which resides on this plane doesnโt matter.
โ
How could it? It continues to vanish –
This matter,
These matters.
โ
It is waking up from one dream
Into another
Into another.

I lived in the converted garage
and you in the bamboo shack out back
When we had nothing
เผถ
I scrubbed mold off the walls for rent
and you tended the weeds and seeds of the garden
When we had nothing
เผถ
We foraged the neighbor trees for food
and you baked banana bread for our ohana
When we had nothing
เผถ
We laid in bed and tracked ants on the wall
hand cracked mac nuts on the patio
WiFi was scarce and so to pass the time
we touched and laughed and talked
When we had nothing
เผถ
Thatโs when I fell in love with you
Remember that time?
When we had everything
เผถ

Read MoreTransformation
With enough time or the right circumstances
we grow beyond who we were.
Our once firm outer skin loosens
for it ceases to accommodate our changing form.
There are old parts of us that no longer fit
who we are now or who we want to be
but they are not to be disposed
for they are not debris.
We devourer the skin we were in
as nourishment.
Minerals to fortify a new fabrication.
Harvest
Consume
Assimilate
Strengthen
Expand
Shed
& Repeat
This is the revolution of personal evolution
where death is celebrated as much as birth
for expired cells recycle into the system
to feed new structures
and mature ones push out what is no longer necessary.
It is in these current 2020 circumstances that
for many, much of reality is being called into question
and in a sloughing off of old ideas
we are seeing transformation on a grand scale.
A byproduct of harvesting beliefs is a reinforced identity.
the face we use for connection, but also the mask we wear for protection.
So, questioning what we think we know will feel uncomfortable
but it is essential to the cycle that produces our individual and collective progression.
The churning of your carapace
is your divine duty for it is
a demonstration of your soulโs development.

beyond repair?
If I got to the floor on my hands and knees Iโd see 273 pieces
and that wouldnโt even be all of them
I could find a dust pan and sweep
them together
At least theyโd be together
the ones I could recover anyway
โน
Inevitably some would stay lost
forever,
to the cavern beneath the fridge, the cracks between the tiles, and to a size unrendered by naked eyesย
Shards would surely be seized by wiry broom bristles
and wanderlust pieces would roam to the living room
where I wouldnโt think to look until days later
when Iโd step to pierce flesh
and be reminded of all that had shattered.
โน
But I could try.
โน
I could spread the dusty mosaic across the dining table
and put my plans on hold
to sink into this impossible puzzle
Iโd be matchmaker and the superglue my cupid
โน
Edges sharper than anticipated
A torn paper towel wraps my wounded finger and I hold him tightlyย
The places you can feel a heart beat
โน
There are fragments in me now
It would never be whole again
and Iโd be forever changed
โน
Would it be worth it? My time and my attention. My patience and my bloodshed.
โน
I wonder all thisย
as I stand paralyzed
before this mess on my kitchen floor.
