Instance – London Fog
London Fog The feeling I got When I discovered it was tea and milk. Something about Portland And a rainy day feeling. In woods, the forest, The smell of pine. On cobblestone streets Twist your ankle The umbrella moves. You say, “sorry, babe I’ll cover you.” Up ahead, a coffee…
Instance – Goodbye Ashram – Day 4
I was saying goodbye to the spiders today, but when I looked closer, I only found one of them. I wondered where the other one went, and was surprised that no chills occurred at the idea of a spider on the loose. I also may have overreacted yesterday. Although I…
Instance – Ashram – Emotions are not the Enemy – Day 3
The spiders are my friends now. I couldn’t imagine killing them at this point. Only peace and love to those spiders. In fact, I’ve spent so many days being vegetarian that I might as well just keep doing it. And the full immersion into yoga and meditation makes me feel…

Instance – Of All the Men
Of all the men in this world, With whom I harbor my disdain, For their violence and hate, Half the population, Just a bit more tender than they. Injustice trails them, With the strength of a man, Cowering in the name of mental health, Or not cower at the least,And…
