Knots of long-stemmed lily
meditations when you sit
cross-legged humming
hollow, indissoluble,
roots trailing to earth.
Process notes: Just playing with colors, as per the technical instructions, usefully provided by Joseph. Joseph’s prompts are highly technical, too. Sigh, I’m still waiting for the day when I’m not too lazy to wrap my brain around the challenging play with different forms.

Earth Day 2012 — The environment is being degraded. The climate is getting more extreme. Don’t we all wonder, is the earth dying? What kind of world will future generations inherit? We can choose to act now. Together, let’s commit to a billion acts of green. (Thought this is worth saying.)
I suppose the last one means, get a life? Err, like, get off the Internet?
Oh I almost forgot this.
There’s gonna be a step up in consciousness.
Either that or I’m striking the lottery.
“The only emperor is the emperor of ice cream.” — Wallace Stevens
Meaning?
We seem to live for physical pleasures. That’s the world of seeming. I mean, we seek pleasure, don’t we? So while a true statement, it is an ironic statement.
Obviously the world of seeming is hardly adequate, given that we all die. And given that we will die, we must live in a moral universe. The world of seeming is not enough. Not. enough.
But the physical is a door to the spiritual, isn’t it? The other way around, it doesn’t always happen.
To a mortal human being such as she, who finds reason a cold experience, she’d rather just choose a Haagan Dazs moment, which promises, and delivers, a moment of exquisite pleasure.
For he on honey-dew hath fed
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
