this one life is yours

I want a blaze of light to flame in me forever in a timeless, dear love of everything.

Jack Kerouac

Treasure - Aegis Strife

Take a file and sharpen 

The edge of a dull life 

Tighten the loose nuts 

And bolts that hold your

Dreams in your heart 

There are tools for that 

This one life is yours 

Do you want it to work 

Properly or not

James Lee Jobe

"The weight of the world is love."

Allen Ginsberg

Deliberation - Aegis Strife

yr goddamn right I’m woke 

so keep it real 

cuz I ain’t playin’ 

James Lee Jobe

If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both.

Kiyo Murakami

Solitude 

alone but not lonely 

I speak 

but not aloud 

Work 

everyday I put pen to paper 

wrangling poems 

like a rancher works ponies 

Faith 

morning zazen 

and reading the dharma 

no mind is right mind 

James Lee Jobe

Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.
