A lone crow on a naked winter branch. Even the sunshine feels cold. What is tomorrow? Nothing. Tomorrow does not exist.

This river. The same color as the night sky. The strength of a human heart, beating. One person drawing breath. The point where these things meet. Joined. Off there in the distance.

Peace: the stillness between two seconds.

I found the dharma late in life, so I learned to slow down just as I needed to slow down anyway. It is good to hang on to the moment that is happening now and to let go of all the foolishness of my past. Yes, I have been a fool many times, but right now a hummingbird is blessing the early blossoms on my peach tree and inside the house my wife is singing. Breathe in and out slowly. I am still alive.

Why is a California Scrub Jay so far inland, sitting alone on a bare winter branch, singing out for a friend?

The children cry, but it does no good; their parents are kept locked in a different camp, in different cages. Fear and sorrow become their breath, their heartbeat. Little food, no showers, no love. And the guards are the thorns on the rosebush of America.
