Success is just the first step
now you've got a lot of work
that's all you can ever gain
more work
Make sure to pick some that'll be satisfying

The patterns on the rocks
and the patterns on the trees
with their flowing, changing lines
irregular to the point of beauty
capture my attention
tumble it about
along their scattered routes
makes me feel
myself less scattered

Incredible plenty
food so abundant
that we can't eat it all
Even if it seems so easy to get
I think I would prefer
foraging in the forest
Something about eating food
directly from the plant
makes it exquisitely better
worth the joyous effort
of harvesting it
many times over

Ready again
another day
you don't need to spend it
any particular way
get along the way you choose
if you're not into it, refuse
let the rhythm guide your feet
take courageous leaps
and stay on beat

Other people in my life
Supporting me when I need them
But only when I ask
Or do I just take too many
little kindnesses for granted?

Exclaiming with great glee
about the stark mundanity
the ants all sparkle in the sun
knowing not a difference between work and fun
the grass keeps growing even when
we cut it down again and again
all day bird sounds fill the air
just to let others know they're there
breathe it in and breathe it out
this experience is what it's all about

Throughout the large oak, whistles from the falcons.
Not loud enough to be called screeches,
even if the same sound.

Moving day
No time to play
So many things in my life's way
Why I have them I can not say
I've got to give them all away

For me, making pasta seems easy.
But if I had to grow the wheat and harvest the wheat and process the wheat and mine the ore and smelt the metal and forge the pot and gather the stones and build the cookstove and gather the wood and get the water and light the fire and feed the fire to boil the water to cook the pasta I wouldn't think it was so easy.

Seems like I made it. It wasn't so hard.
I was tested but I passed with flying stars.
I made good and I felt good, I've got real talent it seems.
If I can keep it up I should achieve all my dreams.
Open to the moment, adapting as I go.
Incorporate the new but also stick to what I know.
