  • walking with lao tzu

    The path that is named is not the path
    The way that is named is not the way
    
    Yet walking it with a brother is sweet
    And walking it with a sister is sacred
    When walking it with a child it is joyous
    And walking it with an elder is holy
    The path that is named is not the path
    The way that is named is not the way
    But in the paradox there are many names
  • best of st. paddy’s day

    May your morning be easy
    And your evening be lazy
    When you drink 'til you're stupid
    May your memories be hazy

  • thanksgiving blessing

    May those gathered around this table
    be at peace with each other
    forgiving and embracing forgiveness
    giving thanks and accepting thankfulness,
    loving and cherishing love
    and may the bounty set before us
    the bliss felt in this moment
    and the beauty of our love
    give us strength as we commit
    to bring this peace to the world
  • leave a tip

    Considering, but not knowing
    what may come after this life,
    I find it vainly and vapidly fruitless
    to hunger for perfect pie in the sky
    and oddly calming to think of
    pushing back from the table
    when my life's holy purpose
    is sanely and sapidly consumed.
    There is peace in believing:
    life is the bountiful feast
    and death, just a gratuity.
