Book preview

Transformation

Nothing stays the same

The good

The bad

The indifferent

These too

Will fade soon enough

Change is the only constant

Do not cling

To ideas or things

Every event has its time

Of fruition and decay

Celebrate these moments

Of movement                                                                                  

Wheels within wheels

Always turning

Always spinning

Moving through cycles

Of pain

Of grief

Of anguish

Of compassion

Of kindness

Of ecstatic bliss

Keep true to your path

Turn as the sun and the moon turn                                                                          

What would you like for breakfast

A bowl of mixed metaphors

A side order of palindromes

A tea laced with anachronistic tendencies

Oh yes and two scorched earths on toast

Washed down with a glass of fruitlessness

That and side order of irony

Will do nicely                                                                      

Be a coherent human being

Be in balance with your Self

Be in balance with nature

Find your natural flowingness

Leave ideas
