praise from mother earth
As Dogen says, people like what is not true
and they don't like what is true.
Shunryu Suzuki

Sleep
Mine is far from regular
One night I will sleep fairly well
And then hardly at all the next one
Life for me
Sometimes comes on a 48 hour cycle
And that’s alright
I don’t fight it at all
Friend
There are people who resent the slow years
And fret about the fast ones
I say take every day one at a time
Just as it is
Even now
This present moment is golden
James Lee Jobe

Robert Rauschenberg
Morning brought an easy rain
Soft with tiny drops
That landed like sparrows
Or angels
And if the earth had arms
She would have lifted them up
In thanks
There is no greater praise
James Lee Jobe
