POSTPRANDIAL PALS

When the curtain falls
Those acting opponents
Clean off all the pancake
And repair to the pub

FEARSPAWN

Many people believe
(Having been taught so)
That love and hatred are opposites

But in my experience this is not correct
The true opposite of love is fear

Fear is the ground
From which hatred grows

Love opens us up
Fear closes us down

We no longer see
So we imagine

And hate what
We think we see

To overcome our hatred
We must first overcome our fear
Of our fellows and of ourselves

Quote Of The Day

“When the eye is unobstructed, the result is sight. When the ear is unobstructed, the result is hearing. When the mind is unobstructed the result is truth. When the heart is unobstructed, the result is joy and love.” – Anthony De Mello.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

POP! POP! POP!

Openin’ us up ‘yond closure
Hustlin’ us through ole customs
Up up up where real worlds dubside

Down down deep ‘neath undertow
Back way afore thinkness’s thingness
Overchewed hubble bubblegum

Pop now Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!
‘way go thingness, ‘pparency
‘n those moments followin’

What greater challenge
Than to drop the mask and write
Of our own stories?
In pen and ink or keyboard
Plain words that sparkle with truth

I finally learned
To live magic

Not as if
That fixes anything

Or needs to

Which is good
