AUTUMN DAY

Lord: it is time. The huge summer has gone by.
Now overlap the sundials with your shadows,
and on the meadows let the wind go free.

Command the fruits to swell on tree and vine;
grant them a few more warm transparent days,
urge them on to fulfillment then, and press
the final sweetness into the heavy wine.

Whoever has no house now, will never have one.
Whoever is alone will stay alone,
will sit, read, write long letters through the evening,
and wander along the boulevards, up and down,
restlessly, while the dry leaves are blowing.

- Rainer Maria Rilke
translated by Stephen Mitchell

“There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish
swimming the other way, who nods at them and says "Morning, boys. How's the water?" And the
two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and
goes, "What the hell is water?"
-David Foster Wallace

But I don't want comfort. I want poetry. I want danger. I want freedom. I want goodness. I want sin.

"i live on earth at present, and i don't know what i am. i know that i am not a category. i am not a thing—a noun. i seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process—an integral function of the universe." ~ richard buckminster fuller

MAYBE
~for Craig



Maybe it was the billboards promising
paradise, maybe those fifty-nine miles
with your hand in mine, maybe my sexy
roadster, the top down, maybe the wind
fingering your hair, sun on your thighs
and bare chest, maybe it was just the ride
over the sea split in two by the highway
to Key Largo, or the idea of Key Largo.
Maybe I was finally in the right place
at the right time with the right person.
Maybe there'd finally be a house, a dog
named Chu, a lawn to mow, neighbors,
dinner parties, and you forever obsessed
with crossword puzzles and Carl Young,
reading in the dark by the moonlight,
at my bedside every night. Maybe. Maybe
it was the clouds paused at the horizon,
the blinding fields of golden sawgrass,
the mangrove islands tangled, inseparable
as we might be. Maybe I should've said
something, promised you something,
asked you to stay a while, maybe.

Richard Blanco

I feel, that the essence of spiritual practice
is your attitude toward others.
When you have a pure, sincere motivation,
then you have right attitude toward others
based on kindness, compassion, love and respect.
