walking
the neighborhood
I’m six cents richer
Month: September 2014
Sunday sunset
Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No.2
I hear
a hummingbird coming
it’s Liszt
orchestral version
on piano
on violin
on 4 pianos
“Carrying everything except what you needed”
I become silent
inside a cave
looking at a “cairn of broken stones”
sitting under a weeping willow tree
I listen
to an explorer tells her story
“how to build herself”
“that food is not a big issue”
I try to visualize
how she subsisted
on “witchetty grubs seared in sand”
I believe her
chasing an epiphany
is reason enough to endure.
Note: I read with interest stories of 2 remarkable women: Theresa Forcades, a physician who becomes a Benedictine nun, and Sarah Marquis, a Swiss modern-day explorer, who walked 10,000 miles in three years. Both of them experienced different epiphanies that transformed their lives.
gratefulness
“If we’re grateful, we’re not fearful, and if we’re not fearful, we’re not violent. Then, we act out of a sense of enough instead of scarcity, and we start to share.”-Brother David Steindl-Rast, quoted by Nipun Mehta
Nipun Mehta describes the richness of Br. David’s “extreme ordinariness”in a recent blog.

our time will come
good morning
four moons
a bid for attention
a field of tulips
scarlet in bloom
a child chasing a dragonfly
the mother few steps
behind her
with a camera
two are unaware
three with a focus, their shadows
slanted by the sun
I watch them
a story in motion
enthralled
I’m sorry, I didn’t know
you were behind me
your wine glass,empty.
home made
a bowl of clam chowder
red and spicy
~shall I come back tomorrow?
