Just thinking, contemplating, considering
imagine putting a small lens within the pod /
that once held the seed /
which became you, what then /
does the world look like from within? /
Can you see beyond the walls /
that once held you, /
now?

each and every morning begins with /
the proclamations of greedy, evil men /
And they have a look about them /
seen / with childish / delight

walking along / attracted to pickup / look closer / understand / the incomprehensible /
remains / gnawed / dried / always returning /
back to the study / to contemplate /

“People often say, with pride, ‘I’m not interested in politics.’ They might as well say, ‘I’m not interested in my standard of living, my health, my job, my freedoms, my future, or any future.'” — Martha Gellhorn
The need for coffee beans sends me out into the crisp morning air.
Patterns on the windshield cast shadows; and provide unexpected pleasure for the eyes.

through time and space… and away / focus your heart-mind on a dearly departed friend / and his survivors /
as you mix 3 different flours with water, sourdough starter, salt and sugar / focus your heart-mind on memories of each of them /
as you stretch and letter fold the dough / first one way then ninety degrees the other way / every forty five minutes / for 3 hours /
remember / stretch / remember / fold / remember / fold / remember / turn / remember / stretch / remember / fold / remember / fold / remember / let it rest for 45 minutes / repeat / repeat / repeat
bake in all the memories, love and joy for this friend and his family /
this little loaf for me / a larger loaf to nourish those who sit shiva / our lives intersecting now and again over the decades /
then never again… / passed away they say / leaving only these memories / these breads / these words / these photographs
And another also departed this past week / leaving different trails of intersections / of memories / of joys and sorrows
