A few words from Siddhartha
Love yourself and be awake-
Today, tomorrow, always.
~Dhammapada
The whole world we travel with our thoughts,
Finding nowhere anyone as precious as one’s own self.
Since each and every person is so precious to themselves,
Let the self-respecting harm no other being.
~Samyutta Nikaya

Waffle House, 2am
I’m not sure that everything I’ve done hasn’t been a lie, but
your unintelligible clamor speaks well of the lives of all men.
If I am honest, I will see possible futures for me and my children
in your toothless mouth. I sit next to a man who buys you breakfast
and the three of us silently watch our eyes turn red around the edges
as you eat without eating. How was the...
Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination...

for me, new life,
to see generosity
given to those in decay.
A selfless act bestows honor
to their stay in the world.
A whole life was lived, just to
give me this stone to sit on.
If God is kind to each marker here,

Meditation in a Graveyard II
“God, speak to me…” I whispered.
From the calm a cool and pervasive wind
