It's silly

being other than called

being both-and

when I am

caught in the silly

the silly of my making

You're here

the Now

for fools like me

foolish Yourself

loving this fool

to death

At death I'll wake

cutting the crap

grasp the You in me

and be

forever

without facade or mask

the both-and

and be

celebrating You

*Reflections of Sue Halpern:

  -...absence of electricity doesn't simplify things; it keeps them simple.

  -...poverty is a matter of desires as well as of means.

  -Nor does he (Ned) confuse religion with God.  Religion is the creation of people - to Ned it is as artificial as electric light.

  -Forty years in the woods earning a life, not a living.  "A lot of  people, I think, wished they would have done it."

  -You're a thinking machine when you are alone.

  -...because we're sentimental about animals it is easier to forgive their trespasses.

  -Isolation is like having hell all to yourself.
