desire
is like rain
in the desert
when it falls, it floods the land
and when it stops
we pray for rain
even if
we are carried away
by the flood.

She came into my office
hurt
like a bluebird with a broken wing
knocked out of the sky
by a nasty rock
“They humiliated me and they were mean.”
“Yes,” I said. “We must not be like them. We must be good, by not being mean.”

Wisdom wants time.
What do you want?

I look forward to things
and I dread things
Things are Things
They don’t think
So, thinking
is the way.

If we stop and ask, “What is that person doing?”
It’s easy to answer
but if we stop and ask, “Why is that person doing?”
That,
is the reason,
for everything.

Women read my Writing
and say
I made them get angry
but
their anger was always there.
My words only provoked it
and the monster
came out
into the open.

What is a good life?
To be a student of wisdom
Wisdom, isn’t what you do with it
It’s an investment that can’t be spent
So, why be wealthy?
Because poverty is a wasted life.

I’m eating apples
while writing these words,
thinking about the forbidden fruit…
The Tree of Knowledge
or
The Tree of Life
Death, is an apple core, with poisonous seeds
Plant a Tree
and experience
a kind of eternity.
What an interesting collection. I can see how they flow into each other, building on the same concepts.
