Looking deeply into the eyes of each person.

'stares at flower with intensity,' jlj
todayÂ
early morning meditationÂ
then I added supplies to the local homeless shelter
read a poem at a public function
and took my sweet wife out to lunch
the sky was winter-gray but still beautiful
and the cold air on my faceÂ
felt like being young again
which I am not
split pea soup with bacon for dinner
then maybe some small poems in my journal
what will I dream tonight
I'll tell you tomorrow

John Mayall - Room To Move
I died a mineral, and became a plant. I died a plant and rose an animal. I died an animal and I was man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Jalal Ad-din Muhammad Rumi
In the dream, I was far in the past, in Europe. I was trying to tell people that it is alright to love each other, but because of the differences in 'technology' between the two eras, I was failing. It was almost time to return here. I felt frustrated. Finally, I got around the problem by looking deeply into the eyes of each person, one at a time. "Love is the answer," I said, again and again.

Alas, after a certain age every man is responsible for his face.

past midnightÂ
something pushing on my skullÂ
a hard and steady pressure
like a man's hands or like guiltÂ
son is that youÂ
have you returned to me after so long awayÂ
no you're really deadÂ
and there is no one and nothing hereÂ
but me alone
I rise and go to the window to lookÂ
but there is nothing out there but darknessÂ
and I knew it would be so
all of that and only a couple of minutes
have passed

Imagine that when those cynical or sarcastic thoughts pop up, you don't respond to them. Imagine just letting them go and maybe smiling instead.

I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.Â
