The tallest oak cannot ignore
the acorn that will replace it.
When we discover Tao inside us,
our children also take root.

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Children of the Damned
The children with white eyes have gathered
Like owls around their parents whose minds
They can read. The children smile, compassionately,
As they confine their parents in nursing homes
Where they will be cared for, professionally,
And preserved until the money runs out.
The children form corporations on the internet
Where they buy and sell futures on the stock exchange.
Unencumbered by the weight of memory, the children
Know that it’s time to start over, from scratch,
And nobody’s hiring anybody over the age of twenty
Because the present is so much better than the past.
[Disposable Poem October 8, 2013]
