Autumn Wisdom

autumn

coming so soon

catching me unawares

leaves fall overboard 

smiling

their fate

my fate

but

smiling 

is a little forced

watching

or

watched

accept

loss of control 

or meaning

which

though long sought

never was

within the grasp

the native tongue

this time

worse 

lost almost everything

in translation

gathering up the crumbs 

she said

come to terms

wrestling must

inevitably cease

resolving itself 

in rest

unceasing awareness

acceptance

watching peace

fall gently from the sky.

Finally!

Grooved Example

So I finally got there.

This example has grooved boards and the endcaps were formed to fit the shoulders without having to add extra pieces in. 

Inside

Be still...

Be still
how hard is that
overcomplicating
let it all go on around you
witness.

A pinch and a punch...

Walking

by the river

high fiving the hazel

sometimes snagged by a blackberry

that's life.

Some more progress
made along the road
time to integrate
expressing gratitude
by responding

simple things
make overcomplication
blush

time
which you thought was wasted
revealed something
of which
at the moment you aren't sure
but
having confidence
in the process

trust
gently almost
in spite of yourself
pulls us along.
