Zen and Satori: Enlightenment
Sorry I cannot comment on your essays. I am going through a lot of post cancer pains. I can't seem to work on my books, screenplays or creative non-fictions. My pains are increasing daily... I just performed Solo at an Asian Festival with about 10 weapons. I improvised and people loved it. When I am performing I am free. . .

The Softest Space
I carry you in the softest part of my heart, where my love keeps you warm. Heartbeats gently sound your name with every thump, as if I needed a reminder of your presence. I dare not whisper it aloud, for I fear my voice will not hold. As my gaze falters, I am acutely aware my being was made to walk beside you. In but one glance, you shaped our future; be it bold or quiet, I am convinced it stays in forever. Standing, a sliver of light behind, your shadow covers me, allowing everything that I am to rest completely. The soft air flowing between us, caressing, allowing movement without restraint, just held in recognition. Unadorned. Free. Quiet in the softest space of your love.

What I Gave You
I. What I Gave You was my heart and soul. In return you tore them in two. II. My heart stopped beating. My soul stopped breathing.

Most Nights
Sneakers strike pavement in a steady rhythm. A podcast streams through one ear, the other left open for the world. . My dog's tags jingle beside me.
