The Cure for Gluttony

stop

over-indulge

            in simplicity of presence

right where you are

              will do

                         just fine

no reservation required

              security check

                           or travel of any kind

calm your body first

             look and ask

                          watch it respond

enjoy your breath

            unearned flow

                         primary connection

                         to every existing thing

stand

            feet firm

                         in crisp constant

                         stream of thought

rest

Harbin Walk with a Doc

We Walk Together

fresh born

You come to us as parent

to mother

You arrive as child

to daisy

solar rays

to sun

as plant

unseen gravity

unearned breath

shared by all

today

as doctor

patient

lender

borrower

servant

leader

            we walk together

in deep gratitude

to pavement

air

leaves and grass

which remind us:

            although we move apart

            we never walk alone
