A dying man...

2010-10-04T23:16:00.000Z

Today i met a dying man, he was grey and old,
weathered by the storms of time.

He told me of his life, 72 years...
summarised in 4 minutes of discussion.

At first i was frightened, scared at knowing he was facing the unknown,
that one day soon his flesh would retire, and his soul, be taken.

But as i looked closer at this old, grey, weathered man,
it became apparent to me...

His deep burning gaze, held within a passion for the life he had lived,
the happiness he had shared and the memories he will both leave and take away.

For a single moment, all became still and was understood.

Ignorant to the romance of life,
Ignorant to the calling of their own souls...

Trying Hard...

2010-06-14T22:35:00.000Z

to be positive in the face of change,
to adapt to new environments,
to travel unburdened, wide eyed and charged,

to feel sorrow rub against my positive,
to feel anger and disappointment against my positive,
to rebuild and to create.

I am trying hard.

Bent over at the sink, he washed his face... cupped hands dragging cool pools of clear water over the deep contours of his brow. He felt the water run down his cheek, every crevice and cavity is touched, deepening a sense of relief that would one day save his life.

Sundown on small Cypriot harbor...

I am...

2009-07-20T22:44:00.003Z

Listening,
to my mind,
to my soul
to my own awareness.

2 months have passed since i awakened,
metaphorically slapped by a good friend,
bringing me too my senses,
demonstrating how rich life can truly be.

A positive energy, running through me, guiding and directing me,
navigating all obstacles big and small.

My universe, my god, my horizon, my faith - restored.

Fighting off my demons with mind and sword,
a crescendo of light and energy enters my chest.

Its not the first time,
but it was long forgotten.

Smothered by the realities of my life,
drowning as each problem wave crashed.

My eyes, seeing a new dawn,
with every breath,
an energy, bestowed upon me,
a duty, willing and unbound.

My life is good,
I am grateful,
For i am life,

I am ALIVE.

Over 5 months and nothing to ad. I Seem to be recording thoughts and images in my head rather than via pen, paper or camera lately. The shadow of age slowly creeps upon us, the richness of memory are all we have to recall, I try to play-back the sense of smell, taste and colour of events i hold so dear, time markers recording things I have done, allowing my core to access them at any given time for that flurry of remembrance, switching on my senses and making me smile.

If you want to be free, get to know your real self.
It has no form, no appearance, no root,
No basis, no abode, but is lively and buoyant.
It responds with versatile facility, but its function
Cannot be located; when you look for it you become
Further from it. When you seek it
You turn away from it all the more.

2006-11-28T17:48:00.000Z

“It is not the critic who counts nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who knows great enthusiasm, great devotion and the triumph of achievement and who, at the worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. You have never lived until you've almost died. For those who have had to fight for it, life has truly a flavour the protected shall never know.”

In the mountains...

2006-11-27T08:43:00.001Z

In the mountains,
A monk’s robe hangs
In the meditation hall.
Outside the window,
No one’s to be seen,
Only birds skimming over the creek.
As I descend,
Dusk meets me halfway
Down the mountain road.
Still hearing the creek fall,
I hesitate, reluctant
To leave these blue heights.
