What Lasts


What breathes
dies.

What doesn't
crumbles.

What lives
lasts forever.

Silent as Light


Wei wu wei is silent as light.
Effortless work lies
within everyone's grasp.

What one hand strives against,
another carries like a breeze.

When the way turns hard,
loosen your grip on the reins.

Hand and Hand


Make one hand wealthy.
Make the other hand poor.

Which life is worn more?
Which life is worth more?

How do you know?

Six Lines


Six lines
draw us together.

Bloodline.
Credit line.
Hairline.
Hemline.
Waistline.
Bus line.

So


So I wake up.
Then what happens?

You become aware.

So I become aware.
Then what happens?

You choose your own actions.

So I choose my own actions.
Then what happens?

You discover who
you already are.

Outside Inside


Wayward streams.
Delinquent storms.
Curious winds.

Wayward mind.
Delinquent soul.
Curious skin.

Why Sex Feels Good


Sex feels good
not because God or evolution
had to make sex feel good
to coax us into reproducing
like shy pandas.

Sex feels good
because God or evolution discovered
we just need to feel good sometimes.

Sometimes, sex is
the only pleasure we can find.

Field Work


Field of grass.
Field of rocks.
Field of corn.

Hard work
teaches patience.

Field of battle.
Field of victory.
Field of defeat.

Painful work
teaches wisdom.

Hardest to See


There will always
be barriers between
here and there.

The hardest to see 
are the ones
I set up myself.

Well


When the well is full,
the danger is having too much.

When the well is empty,
the danger is having too little.

When the well is enough,
the danger is having enough.
