friday night nyc

i smile into grateful
a lovely night'
and its the moment i am experiencing

live bait, 20 years ago where i met joan and jackie who i care for still so deeply
and a reagee band plays on and reminds me of the Jamaican twangie music

and now home, i get ready for psalms and i think grand-grateful
so silly of me to think what is happening and what is not happening has
a better or worse, it just is what it.

conditions that arise are all part of the totality and when i judge it and call it this or that
god or bad- why call it anything, it is as it is. why try to convenience anyne os anything it is just what it is and this is my journey
i will use the conditions that arise to awaken
not to be right
not to enhance my sense of anything
i am

and i smile into my routine of loving everyone and everything

i am
these tears of love
and work of grace
lord christ have mercy and
wake me for morning to praise your glory
discover me in quietness
speak to my open heart
breathe into my soul
