Seek not acclaim
But accord
Not praise
But partaking
Not applause
But appraisal
Not homage
But homecoming.

Lighted path (Photo credit: unknown)
There’s ennobled a path
For each person
Who strives
To live life
Reverently enough
To keep all
Dignified.

Be at home
In the world.
In the spaces
Between
Here
And now
All the past times
And futures
To come.
Be at home
In your soul.
Let it inhabit
Your all
Let it welcome
You
Home.

Do not ignore your gut
When it propels you
To speak, to act
To take a stand
And live a truth
Fed by moral fiber
Of empathy
And kindness.
Follow the visceral
Call
To eliminate
In better deeds
The glittery lure of
Hate-swelled
Intimidation
And
Intolerant effluvia.

I love this photo of an upside down house in Europe for its genius and exactness, but also for how it challenges our orientation and leads almost everyone to tilt their head ‘to see it better.’ Are the corners of the ‘roof’ still peaks of gables, or do they now make the bottoms of “V”s? If you look out from these windows, will the world itself be upended? How do we define up from down, right from wrong, vision from illusion? How cemented are our views about what is and what could be? Are we willing to paint ourselves out of the corners of our mind where we’d comfortably assumed we knew all that was to know, only to realize a whole world still awaits in readiness to shake our understanding?

‘Neath a lamp
O’er green
Park’s ablush
Tickled pink.

Silt and mud, oozy streets
Too much fun
To resist.
Mismatched shoes
Do not blight
Sludgy mushy
Delight.

Unzip yourself from wild-ride news
From tilt-a-whirls of media.
Seek peace amides the reeling waves
Of turmoil and tragedia.
Carve islands of no pitch or roll
So a calm breath can fill ya.

In a trance, you transcend.
Or defend.
Or lose sight.
Use it wisely
Lest you intend
To upend
What should remain
Firm in mind.
