life gets so very hard in our making
expelling itself pushy upon the unwillingness
nevertheless making "IT" so very real

of dead ends that spiral you back the way

You were watching the dance of the clouds

Hair as woven gold within my palm,

Vernal heart, and winter eyes,
Ever shall I lie beside you,
Rise and meet my yearning lips.

In Varanasi, they are checking for essences

body, preparing the soul for Moksha, one

with the divine source of all life, Brahman.

trauma; but the keepers of the Universal

There's this poignant scene in the movie,

Dancing at the Blue Iguana, where

this one girl calls up the owner of the club

and there are no words exchanged, all

A couple purchased two air-conditioners,

One was a 220 volt, and one a 110,
so they returned them to the store again.
I was paged to see if we had a 220 outlet,
