wayward waves

a following sea

thanks the wind

standing waves will seem

at once oxymoronic

though not in physics

Who is going to teach you to sit silently?
That is the most difficult thing in the world. You can do everything very easily, but the easiest thing, to sit silently, seems to be the most difficult.

night's white light

soothing the harsher

light of day

summer moon

a slice of night sky

on the porch

bright lights, big city

traffic noise and loud people

The ultimate sense of humor is a free way of relating with life situations in their full absurdity.

unchecked addictions

like that of the moth to flame

always end badly

lingering

doubts cast long shadows

The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not.
