Conversations in flux...June/July 2012 Part 1

The Present Moment
This is all
I have
Waking up with
random tunes in my head

Mapping the
Here & Now
Becoming conscious
of all that influences
the now
learning to be aware
of all that's affecting
my present
I can act from
and in the moment
without reacting
to things of
the past or future
they exist
still
here & now
floating
in the ether
if
I'm aware
that they exist
then I act from now
not then
I act from
this present moment
I Am
not
limited
to the impact of
the past
nor confined to
imaginings
of a future
I have no way
to fathom
From here
Just now
In this moment
Therefore
I can be
Free

My original Desiderata, now on my sister's wall

'Begin Again' original copy, now on my sister's wall

Begin Again
Beginning Again
Sometimes
There is no choice
But
To
And that's okay
That is what's happening
so it's alright
It's a luxury
A privilege
To be able to
Begin Again
To have the strength
To
Continue
Beginning again
Always

In the debris of my Grandparents house I found tiny red roses blooming, a night two weeks ago

A night
Two weeks ago
She wasn't there
But I went any way
I knew she wouldn't be
But still I had to visit
I needed to be close
To her
A remnant of her
Where she spent over
50 years
of her life
And dreamed
of visiting
China
But didn't
Couldn't
Walk into
Her garden
Up the path
There yis are now
Clasping her hands together
Relishing our arrival
Not mine
Tonight
Just me
Looking at
A decrepit door
I can't open
She can't open
Any more
Varnish peeling
Away
I turn and walk back
Not wanting to
Leave
But there is nothing
Inside
Realizing
I don't need
To be here
To be with
Her
Just at the gate
Crossing the threshold
Tiny red roses
In the debris
Of a home she left
Long ago
Nature will overcome
she said
Nature will overcome
Always

Our Dublin city, rainbow in the distance
