The stairs teach me; the sun rises there on their cold stones and in me – we are the same. The train whistle blows me awake. I walk up the stairs in my slippers, the stones speaking through my feet. Something is different. This is how simple it is – walking up the stairs in [...]

After Silence (Transcribed from pen and paper)
Posted in Uncategorized on March 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
I arrive home after a 7-day silent retreat. The TV leans towards me with recordings of my favorite reality shows. The refrigerator yawns with food, the cupboards with snacks. The street, the outdoors, with a walk, and this pen and paper rest so quietly on the table. The call from them so silent that I [...]

The Eyes of Love

This morning I became a tiny infant. My dear, dear friend Johnny is in hospice care—unable to speak—but we are together each morning, and in that time, I look deeply into his blue eyes. I stop my thoughts and just look. And in his eyes, in that deep silence, this morning a deeper opening occurred. [...]

Trees in sun Sketching their brown-black shapes On snowy lawn. Heads down, concentrating, like children with charcoal and sheets of white paper.

Spilt milk is no big drama; it’s just that: spilt milk!
