like tiny paratroopers
Not creating delusions is enlightenment.
Bodhidharma

Why waste this last sliver of the moon
walk with me across the empty field
cast off your sorrow
and I will cast off mine
there might not even be a tomorrow

It’s been years since I’ve seen snowÂ
     decades I supposeÂ
what I remember is perfect white flakesÂ
     falling from the winter skyÂ
     like tiny paratroopers Â
clean and coolÂ
when they land on your tongueÂ
     and meltÂ
     they are millions of little giftsÂ
     from aboveÂ
James Lee Jobe

If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Mark Twain
