2:20 am

Tonight

I begin to see that my mistake 

always begins with trying to understand life, 

an impenetrable mystery

when what is needed, 

here and now, 

is to understand being. 

To be with this sensation of the body. 

To take in its goodness deeply. 

To remember, with every tendril and root and fiber 

of this cosmological sensation.

Resting

Stay awake

 

JPG‘s pick new player hit it out of the park

A bomb he called it

I pray for all the help we need

My world changes

Band practice , 5 pm 8-17

   Lord abide with us.  Us with you.  Bless the chilly , the music makers. Amen

I remind myself here for a moment 

that I cannot ask for forgiveness 
and yet remain unwilling to offer it. 

I cannot ask for love and remain unwilling to offer it. 
I cannot ask for mercy and yet remain unwilling to offer it. 

     Lee van Laer, Substack, the morning five,  today, goodness flows into being
