When was the last time your doctor was taken out for dinner by big broccoli? It’s probably been a while.

Birds dream. Quite possibly that may be what it means to be alive.


Poetry connects us to the mystery. – Jack Kornfield

Poetry arrived in search of me.

I don’t know, I don’t know where
it came from, from winter or a river.
I don’t know how or when,

… there I was without a face
and it touched me.

… image of mystery,
I felt myself a pure part
of the abyss,
… my heart broke free on the open sky.

Pablo Neruda, Selected Poems, Delacorte Press, 1970

Let the Mystery Be

Everybody's wonderin' where they all came from . . .

Everybody's wonderin' where they're gonna go

When the whole thing's done.

But no one knows for certain

And so it's all the same to me

I think I'll jus' let the mystery be
