Count First

So you're too cool to finish up high school.
consider that no one will hire a fool.
Count first.

You might be fine with selling fries and burgers.
Take some classes, sell some bigger orders.
Count first.

Before you cut along the penciled line,
Get out your ruler, measure one more...

Zenith of mount
Apex of all
No peak too high
No aim too tall
He reaches, he strains;
He wears himself thin. 
He toils, he strives; 
His drive to be perfection's kin.

Prodigious intellect 
But not wisdom for one, save all. 
He hath...

Often bringing dishonor to God's...

On a mild Spring’s night
In the heartlands of Ulster 
A prodigious child was born 
For Ireland, to save her

A man of modest means 
Yet formidable wit
The mystics he joined 
A cause to commit

In poems and paintings
He found self expression 
Yet through a noble pursuit 
Would...

When one looks closely at a butterfly…it is difficult to dismiss….
the beauty it acquires through it’s metamorphosis…

To marvel at the changes made since the moment of its creation
How every stage is vital…to the butterfly’s transformation.

When one looks at human beings…it is difficult to dismiss
the beauty...

Reaching…..

Reaching with long duration
of prayer not attending
to subjects, no creation
of thoughts, finally reaching.

Sunyata

Feeling of pure readiness
complete thoughtless, no thinking;
Sunyata, full emptiness
in mind with dauntless feeling.

I knew a land not far from here
where stories kissed goodnight
 - a land like Oz before the storm
when all was black and white.

Yet now as ruby tinted mists
add colour to that time
 - a distant land of spires and farms
awakes as church bells chime.
