At 23, I took the exampleOf Moses and JesusAnd went 40 days without food.In the end, Moses saw his god's glory,Jesus overcame the devil,I got a divorce......At 33, I've learned it's best to receive lifeAs It comes, let go of how you think it will go.Rumi said to die before you die.If you follow his advice, you will live your life alive,And when death comes you will recognize him As someone you've walked with before.

It is the constant changing character of our life together that I embrace.We have come a long way; knowingeach other now in ways that we did not before.

I once took all my journalsfrom 3 years and burned themin a fire. Alone,watching the past disintegratereminded me of life and time. The presentis all I had. Time slowly burningaway each moment.

Easter Contemplations It does not concern meIf this life is all I have.I do not need a resurrectionOr reincarnationOr to live with the gods. It is enough to liveWith you hereIn the days of your presence. When my breathesAre complete,Lay me by your sideIn the dust.As in life, so in death.Let us become oneWith each other again.

Where does my next thought come from?Hold your next thought as long as you can,Try it.It’s like holding water in your hands.Like holding fog.Allusory. A new one springs upFrom the nowhereAnd dissipates as quickly.
