Hand in Hand

An unbroken chain

of hands

holding hands

stretches through

history.

We have spoken

to each other

with words

written,

spoken,

sung;

truth and lies;

foolish and wise;

whispered,

shouted,

declared,

growled,

sobbed,

projected;

our story passed

from generation

to generation

hand in hand

our moments passed

from one life

to another life;

from heart to heart.

Keeping the Center

Surrounded by

shards and shreds

of life and memory

we must keep at our center

the Shema:

Shema, Yisrael;

Adonai Eloheinu,

Adonai Echad.

Hear, O Israel,

the LORD our God,

the LORD is One.

Me Qua Me

The theme

in every day of my life

is basically

...

me.

Not meaning to be

self-centered,

but I am

the only one

(besides The Creator!)

who never

leaves my presence.

The more or less random

entry

of loads of other

inputs, personalities, influences,

artwork, memories, daydreams...

It still is

who I am becoming.

Little sips

and nibbles

here and there

of untold

numbers of thoughts and experiences

all add up to

a constantly developing

me.

Laugh.

You know

you want to.
