Blank Mind

Floating in the ether

After the knight falls

And the DAE breaks

brakes, breaks, aches, rakes

have a nice (drug) trip see you next Fall (season)

I feel dumb, I have nothing to say, my life is too simple for words

I sit, type, listen, and fill in the blanks

Lots of possibility.   Starting with doing nothing.

Then, meditating.  Noting things as they “arise”.  

Thoughts, feelings, things

Awareness, clear and bright, lucid, awake

candles, sound, lamplights, the earth (globe), and computer screen

Passing cars, in the rain.  Flickering flames.  

Wordless drone of ambient electronic soundscapes.

Punctuated by Stephen Hill

Dictionary? Atlas? Email? ChatGPT? Blog? Trivia? 

Nap, simply sit, eat an apple, almonds, gouda, chocolate, dates

Shoot texts to Karen, Sara, Rose Marie, Julie

RM’s in Oakland now.  Not the Mission (San Jose), in Fremont

Mom called earlier.   Simple conversation.

Looking forward to a Chile relleno burrito, tomorrow (again)

I’ll get sushi on Wednesday.  

Looking forward to happy dogs, tomorrow.

Glad they fixed their fence.  (Karen, Patricia)

Hope Mimi is doing okay.  Another world.  Horses!

Maybe I should go to Camp Royaneh, one of the work parties.

Or go to GTU.  Buy an Aletheon copy.

Apply for CalFresh (food stamps).  Go to TJ’s. 

Buy a pizza, again.  Last week, that was perfect.  

  Could totally do that again.

Ho hum.

Just sit.   Listen to Mike sleep, breathe, snore.

Bum bum bum BUM, go the notes

Ding ping clang arpeggio

Ommmmm 

Pringles? Reeses, twix?  Chocolate? jerky? It’s it? Coke? Juice, chips.
