Direct your eye right inward, and you'll find
a thousand regions in your mind
yet undiscovered. Travel them and be
expert in home - cosmography.

Moon Rise
One day flannel will not be armor
used as a guardian of buttons
and instead be ready to explore
the broken jigsaw puzzle of quiet
and moons that rise after
the fire is started.
The radio will play music
to dance to
and the stars
will forget themselves
and fall down
like rain.
In 2007 I started this blog to document some of the thoughts that came to me along the path of study based on the writings in Stephen Levine’s book “A Year to Live”. This book helped me get my mind and heart aligned with the spirit of the life I endeavor to be living. This Exact Life, my first chapbook of poetry, was published in the spring of 2008. The title poem suggests that life, in all the small moments and big events, must be noticed and honored in each day to live life to the fullest. I invite you to enjoy my poetry and my thoughts about living life authentically as possible every day. Namaste. . .
