talk about music
talking about what you love
reminds me to love
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
let it out of you
it seems to really matter
it makes it better
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
not quite all better
but you're more on the way
and that is better
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
let go of some - yeah
see what that feels like - ok
time will tell if so
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
i like it so far
freer in a way, i think
we'll see if it sticks
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
a nice place to sit
relative to other spots
this is top of list
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
make a different push
you know the feel of not quite
so try this way now
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
to design, to make
to create from what's inside
to be yourself, full
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
what will you regret
i want it to have made sense
even if missed some
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
not giving myself
a full chance, i used to say
that won't happen now
. . . [9/24/23]
. . .
this is this now and
that will be that and that's fine
noticing moments
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
i like them open
the windows for the air, space
open the bubble
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
water on the boil
for the tea and soft boiled eggs
regular morning
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
spent some time looking
before making any marks
observing first, then ...
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
feeling good today
just a little discomfort
will focus on good
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
i'm on my lunch break
what a thing - just walk away
it's just some me time
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
not all are ok
some are close - but some don't know
so we all take care
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
what's gonna happen
for sure there will be dying
and we will miss them
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
some things we don't say
it's a practice of caring
it's a calm practice
. . . [9/25/23]
. . .
oh so many yawns
tired today but glad up
early up feels nice
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
almost end of sept
all the years really fly by
all these years gone by
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
sitting with head back
just relax and enjoy this
because this is this
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
still pretty quiet
that's an advantage to now
slowly more sound comes
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
oh this is quite nice
more time equals more freedom
more freedom to move
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
is "freedom" a mess
i mean as a concept; fraught
we mean different things
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
maybe never same
just not bad enough to know
we thought we all knew
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
so we live our lives
and have experiences
so much not the same
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
what do you mean here
and what do you mean right there
and can we agree
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
end of september
closing twenty twenty three
ok, there's some time
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
going in to 'bers
i heard that term recently
i sort of like it
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
the 'bers are cold months
for this northern hemisphere
so that's sort of fun
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
we sit there and here
good places for morning tea
let's keep up the good
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
still quiet, that's nice
nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice
that's what i call it
. . . [9/26/23]
. . .
i am so tired
kept waking up all last night
thinking it was time
. . . [9/27/23
. . .
almost end of month
getting nearer and nearer
time moves on and on
. . . [9/27/23]
. . .
what does it matter
just marks that you bump up on
it matters or not
. . . [9/27/23]
. . .
coming to fourteen
we've been together for that
i wouldn't have thought
. . . [9/27/23]
. . .
i figured, no way
why would anybody stay
i got over that
. . . [9/27/23]
. . .
trying not to care
is caring less really it
just don't get so mad
. . . [9/27/23]
. . .
always practicing
practicing to stay calmed down
just stay floating here
. . . [9/27/23]
. . .
now it's someone else
everyone will go some day
we all get our time
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
now's the time between
if you're reading this it's yours
your time inbetween
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
'better when you're here
it's sort of flat when you're gone
already miss you
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i know you're back soon
int'resting these differences
better when you're here
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
good to be alone
i know we both like that too
more fun when both here
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
so you'll take this drive
i hope it's a good visit
good luck to you all
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
life is just hap'ning
it's exactly what it does
we're just part of it
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
glad you're part of mine
i'm sure glad i'm part of yours
we'll see what comes next
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i'm gonna cry here
because that's what's coming out
it's just what's coming
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
crying here for you
not really for you, of you
expressing your size
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
[those last 2 "fought" to come out at once - that hadn't happened to me before. that was interesting. these moments are powerful - and haiku has been a lovlely and powerful focuser for me. and it's been great . . . so this sort of race to get out of me - this parallel output for this moment, these moments because they are powerful is beautiful. speacial. words don't cut it. but i try.]
. . .
. . .
this time is for you
specially heald now and now
i love you so much
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i know we'll all leave
but somehow it's not easy
but wait! it's not yet
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
how are you doing
you might not even know now
or now or now or
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
thank you for your love
'feels good to be loved by you
i like loving you
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i still can't believe
wait! yes, yes, oh yes i can
you helped me believe
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i am different now
and it's time i accept it
i just realized how
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i'll let that shit go
i'll make it 'til i make it
won't you join me now
. . . [9/28/23]
so it sits in you
it wasn't there then it was
i am so sorry
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i guess all things grow
and all life keeps moving on
and we are all parts
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i am stunned by you
i didn't get you before
but now, i'm closer
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
he dies means she dies
means you die means we all die
so how do we move
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
and we will all die
and we don't know now but guess
here we are right now
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
and this is now, now
your now and my now - and now
and now and now - and
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i am at a loss
and that is just part of life
and so we'll just be
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i think we thought more
but, we don't really know now
so - we'll just breathe now
[be]
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
what is right now like
and now and now and now and
you are the sweetest
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
but how about now
i hope you sleep well tonight
this night is this night
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
i love you so much
you have been so good to me
so glad to know you
. . . [9/28/23]
. . .
this is what it is
land and sea and the offing
and me just being
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
it's less distraction
and more just pure receiving
or something like that
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
some people on SUPS
some people surf, walk or sit
some don't even come
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
i'm glad i came
why close my eyes to this now
this is pure being
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
i'm gonna fight less
with myself and with others
let way more move through
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
this is pretty great
to be able to do this
we make some choices
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
she said rain's coming
clouds a mix of grey and white
thick and pillowy
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
he's going home now
been working hard to get strong
happy homecoming
. . . [9/29/23]
. . .
i know, but still do
i fight it all so damn hard
and then i feel bad
. . . [9/30/23]
. . .
it's all right in front
or am i missing one thing
or is that fomo
. . . [9/30/23]
. . .
ok now i know
and it really is just that
so let's be care-ful
. . . [9/30/23]
. . .
so i'll practice care
i do already - but more
i know what to do
. . . [9/30/23]
. . .
i love you so much
you've helped m to say 'yes' to me
that saves me daily
. . . [9/30/23]
. . .
gonna see The Beat
i think they are my fav'rit
it is about time
. . . [9/30/23]
. . .
. . .
a lot of thoughts about many different people i love. settling into letting those feelings be. through knowing we will go, and that they will go we can reconnect to how much they mean to us and the everyday becomes more salient. more meaninful. or somesuch. and then to end the week with seeing the (english) beat! well - that was wonderful.
i mean to share these on sudays (weekly) and i just don't always get to it - so pardon a bit of pile up, if you're following -- i appreciate it. now i'm caught up : )
thank you for reading! -- i hope you're well. -- kory
