your journey is not my journey
though your struggles mirror mine.
be strong and persistent to the end.

books are better
than diamonds when rain
falls at last

kirtan kavannah

the entire earth
generosity
and not self

breathe in foul
hold and transform
breathe out ahava

oozing and coating
the neighborhood city earth
in sweetness

peanut butter and jelly on rye
holy holy holy
surrounds and fills
