Mushrooms 

​In dark woods thriving
Nourished by the richest earth
Glorious nature
Distasteful flavors
Yet I find them beautiful
With potential death

Gregorian Chant

Gregorian chant

Reaches deep within my soul

Carries me upward

I adore martial arts 

My body burning 

This evening of taekwondo 

Strengthening my heart 

Responding to our vacuous culture 

Seeking richness 

And depth 

While our culture 

Celebrates and delights 

In the vacuous, 

The superficial,

The inane 

Gently, gently, 

With greatest care 

I dream we can bring 

A love for grace, 

Dignity, compassion 
If you like what you just read, give it a like, read more, and leave a comment. 

Learning 

I learn so very much 

  When I shut up and listen 

I wish I knew how

  To do that 

    More often 

Memories break free 

At this late hour
