Trapped in the open we are free within, Enmeshed in cyclic fear and desire. Inner silence cognises ignition; Yearning within our heart all afire, Borne of cravings the ego did sire. The pulse cyclic bringing joy and sorrow; Yesterday’s regrets, fears of tomorrow; Indulgence therein cause of delusion. In deep inner silence we do burrow, Imbibing the throb of bliss elation.

Forsooth

The secretary set a date But since we are away, He could pick up some dental glue To last another day. Instead, since he is not in pain, My husband chose to wait. A brand-new crown is what he needs And what is on the slate. Until that...
