A Christmas Message From President Bush:
December 19, 2006
joy us
December 16, 2006
Joy to this tiny world
and joy to its believers,
however so brief
Peace on this day
to all the anxious creatures
who live in dying places
Greetings to the lonely
adrift in holiday bustle –
strangers might look your way
Comfort to we sheep –
riders of a rail-car existence
displaying love through plastic-giving
Pity to the poor,
brighten our suburban experience –
accept canned goods and toys
(then disappear)
Good luck to the Lord
in the manger ignored
like an old man on Christmas Day
this is the fun we teach:

the Delight
December 6, 2006
in a place
which is not really
a space but
a time
and in that time
which is not really
a time but
a moment
and in that moment
which never
passes…
lives delight

November 21, 2006
it is unexpectedly cold
as we jump naked
under the covers.
shivering toward each other
we giggle,
knowing we will soon
be cozy.
dad wore hats
August 30, 2006
not when he should have
on a cold bright day
he would yell to us
where is your hat?
while the wind played
in his hair.
nor the way he should have
it was always
crunched atop his head
by a nephew or daughter
running around our backyard
at a picnic.
nor what he should have
into the dewy night
the adults would sing
heads touching in harmony
dad smoking a Chesterfield
wearing a bonnet.
healing mind
August 21, 2006
Healers dwell
in the valleys
and hills
of mind
There is magic
to be done
with the energy
of thought
Call out
Invite these sweet gifts
of light
from within
I have slowly,
not always smoothly,
not always with confidence,
inched myself out onto this limb.
It
is
far
safer
near
the
trunk.

happy cat
July 9, 2006
a bag tips over
grapes roll by like green mice
cat gives chase
