The Rocking Chair

Quietude is the handmaid of reflection, as effective as rocking to dissolve all discontent; A moment spent looking is worth more than a day spent expounding, and far more invigorating; The power of truth is such that its strength need not be given loudly, or with force; As the raucousness settles...

Shangri-la

Shangri-la awaits your presence. It hides in plain sight, yet is strangely obscured by florid descriptions and wanton deification; Its ways are simple and unpretentious, though its gifts are bathed in ecstatic joy; Lonely is the wanderer, who seeks but only finds the echo of his expectations. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Love Needs No Reason to Exist

Love exists when all reasons to love wither and fade. Can we select whom to love without also selecting whom to exclude? The act of exclusion, even with one, is to exclude love totally from awareness. The way of love is decided when all decisions are seen as obstructions; this holds true because...

My Beloved

When we met, my disillusion with life was replaced with renewed vision and restored faith. Despite the many obstacles, we stood fast in our dedication to our love, and together we realized a distant dream. Today, you are more beautiful than ever. Though not too oft spoken, I find myself admiring... Sign in to see full entry.

A Whisper in the Wind

Whence does it come, and thence does it go? We are in its midst, yet outside its grasp. It covers, and uncovers at the same time. Its secrets appear, then whisk away. Does not life appear capricious, as the wind? Does it not appear to be without rhyme or reason, and prone either to heal or harm, to... Sign in to see full entry.

The Limpid Pool

The most vigorous display, though a spectacle to behold, must eventually come to rest in the pools below; The mightier the fall, the deeper the reservoir is carved, and the vaster the silence between the two. When the sunburst comes, its rays reveal the dregs carved from its walls, which lie still,... Sign in to see full entry.

Monocle of Love

Opposites exist in the mind, where fear has spurred a thought of loss and exclusion; Hate is, in essence, the belief that love does not exist within; how, then can love contain this emptiness? There is only love. Love is what exists when all that the mind has created is ferreted out and given no... Sign in to see full entry.

Evensong

Inexorably it comes to all who seek it, be it a profound liberation or a moment of transcendence; Peace cannot be pursued, but only experienced as a result of letting go of all known methods to its capture; An evensong is meant for those who listen without interpreting, and hear without remembering....

The Trickster

I pondered at the dilapidated relic, trying to imagine what it would be like to be sentenced to a life of confinement in it. An iron lung it was, straight from the 1950's, complete but in sore need of restoration. 'There's a ghost attached to that thing,' Robert told me with a wry grin. He knew I...

The Missive

Set adrift, a message with the intention of creating change in another has landed awry; For, the intention is a mere statement of a self-assessment, given away but never received; Only communications of a giving nature are heard, and received by both parties involved. What heals one heals all; no... Sign in to see full entry.
