Notes Occupied With Resistance: Rolling Up Jeans
As I was rolling up the cuffs of my jeans, the denim kept thickening, resisting my attempts at rolling. I found myself wanting to stop, when i realized that it as a sign that my hand was weak – not that the material was strong.
Mind has an inherent desire for good, every movement valuable. Don’t let natural resistanceput you off.. Resistance is more a sign that that the particular, the momentary is precisely what you need to work on/go through/pass through.
I carried on rolling. I’d won.

Occupied With Resistance
Rolling up the cuffs,
Denim thickening, resisting
With each fold.
Wanting to break off, let go
(it is her natal weakness)
Seizing stitch
And see it as a sign.
It isn’t that the cuff was strong:
The hand was weak.

I Am As Nothing
I’m old, but I don’t know it.
Old, and know it.
Youthful names around
Pop up like popcorn in a pan.
One cannot take them in:
Previews,
Reviews:
Marketed.
The generation makes its mark.
My spark diminished.
Gone ambition,
Competition,
Knowing Liliputian-ness
And all it stands for.
Atom in-a-universe
Alone in change
And all it stands for.
More and more one knows
I am as nothing.

Dear Brain
Remembering, collecting,
Organizing, synthesizing;
Coming out with your ideas:
You are so dear.
Taking part in all this wholeness,
Changing form and growing cells;
Adapting, you’re a well of wisdom,
Lovable and sweet.
As I stand and make the fishcakes,
That you’ve put together
Out of ‘nothing’ in the fridge;
As I stand, the weather June/spoon/honeymoon –
In short, just right
(A mix of warmth and breeze,
Of cumulus and cirrus)
I am filled, in what must qualify
As gratitude:
A kind of ‘high’.
You are my dear, dear brain.

in 2010, a sense of the ridiculous, circling round energy, meditativeII, the processes creative thinking meditative
Connecting
I make the connection -
Then I write.
You do it again!
I think some thoughts,
A kind of sending;
People call,
Form,
A poem;
Artistry, inventiveness,
Day enhanced.
Questions answered.
Who could ask for more-m?
(I liked the rhyme).

The Link
Knowledge lights,
It doesn’t cure.
What cures is Light;
A pouring
Out
Of thought directed
At a source
Producing miles
Of smiles;
A force that is
A piece
Of peace.
To reinforce the deed.

Pedal Tone
Sleeplessness as practice;
Sleeplessness as etude,
Sans radio, book,
Glass of milk,
Sleeping pill.
Just sleeplessness.
John of the Cross
And masses
Of developed people
Sleep less, or are sleepless,
Up at four to meditate,
Eat and complete a project…
Bend
The mind to take a stand;
See blessings, profit,
From the pedal tone
Of sleeplessness,
The godsend.

People Smoke A Joint Because/one of my practice poems People smoke a joint because It calms them down, It makes them laugh. The symmetry of mediocrity’s Conventions flee. It also makes them hungry. Answers come, and often laughter Is the payoff. Groups ingested LSD To see more beauty, Dig into the new Change patterns that were old in mind, Find truths that were not there to find, Break down, build up And sip the cup Of everything there is to sip. People drink because they are More able to shift gears, Take risks, Lose fears. The problem is to lay off. Get it? Payoff. layoff? I liked that.

The Speed of Thought
Faster than a bullet;
Faster than the speed of light:
The speed of thought.
Exciting thought!
Running round the brain
Connecting and exploding
Into sparkling synapses
Ending, sending, going on –
It doesn’t matter what..
Just think what power you’d create
If you could concentrate
The going round to one small point.

Sudden Death
Dropping dead
Smack in the middle
Of a sentence or a dance
Is blessed, I think:
Light-to-darkness in a wink,
Then on to who-knows-where?
I therefore think it’s best to get
Your issues cleared
Before the date:
Long, long before…
Though neither lingering nor knowing
Where you will be going sounds almost, well, pleasing,
Don’t be lazy.
When you hear about the ones who went quick-quick.
For your and everybody’s sake,
Make ready.

Healing My Bird
The first thing I do is pull up a chair.
In front of the cage, hands in my lap,
I look at my bird
Crippled and blind. – he is, not I.
I’m trying to get him to see.
Sit, gaze at my Toby
Who cannot see me,
I think and return. I think and return
Aiming at emptiness; I feel a nothing.
If there’s to be healing,
I must let the healing steal through.
If there’s to be healing
I have to feel presence:
My presence and It.
So I sit.
