3/18/24 Create a Raging Curiosity cc 6/2/18


Create a
Raging
Curiosity

I used to think that I could know
But now I know it was just a show
Read and study think and plan
do it for your whole lifespan span
And when your old you may realize
That few among us are ever wise
The wisest thing that they can bestow
You will never know what you don't know

Create a
Raging
Curiosity

3/15/24Take a fresh View Each instant is New cc9/1/17


Take a fresh
View
Each instant is
New

Every day
Starts the same old way
Coffee, shower and some writing
The morning stillness is so inviting
In just a moment it all can change 
And my whole life can be rearranged
Fire, flood or loss of power
Lottery win or happy hour
Stay alert you never know what's next
A forest fire or just a new text

Take a fresh
View
Each instant is
New

3/12/24 There is never anything "To get through" cc


There is never anything
"To get through"
It's just more practice
A building block in my
Growing repertoire of
Skillful responses

The greatest gift that time has given
Is to be grateful and never driven
Sometimes life's road gets really steep
A chance to learn and grow a heap
Or get depressed and just complain
But that only brings on more of the same
No one lives a perfect life
There will always be some kind of strife
Freedom lies in our reaction
So find the good and give it traction

There is never anything
"To get through"
It's just more practice
A building block in my
Growing repertoire of
Skillful responses

3/9/24 Stop chewing Your Pencil cc12/28/17


Stop chewing
Your
Pencil

I have no idea why I started it
My dear mom would throw a fit
I'm not talking about a few bite marks
Like it was attacked by a school of sharks
It's like so much else I learned to do
It made no sense but on I would chew
So now I'm old and I can see
That there's many ways that I can be
So now is the time to become responsible
To work hard and create what's possible

Stop chewing
Your
Pencil

3/6/24 Training our minds To overcome Our DNA cc 12/31/17



Training our minds
To overcome
Our DNA

Mother nature's plan is clear
Survive and breed then disappear
She don't care about roads and cars
Or who's the latest movie stars
So if we want some peace of mind
We have to learn how to redesign
The crazy way we live and think 
And the wacky ways that we interlink
Be grateful, loving, gentle and kind
Then you may find peace of mind

Training our minds
To overcome
Our DNA

3/2/24 Riding around In a corpsecc 12/29/19

Riding around
In a corpse

"I"often think of it as "my" leg
But it might as well be a wooden peg
It does what "I" tell it for just a while
"I" hope to give it up with style
"My" head is full of petty shit
"I" hardly ever use "my" wit
Soon "I'll" know if there's  more than meat
"My" trip through time was some great treat

Riding around 
In a corpse

2/28/24Prepare to Get lucky cc 5/13/18

Prepare to
Get lucky

Fate has a way
Changing our day
When Lady fortune comes by
With the glowing in her eye
It's time for some actions
Forget the distractions
She may never come back
So  I'll launch my attack
Take a strong stand
And my world may expand

Prepare to
Get lucky
