The Perfect Weekend

What's better than perfect weather, the dog park, and playing in some dirt....?! Not much I don't think!

Lovey and Manny playing at Railroad Dog Park Friday night ;-)


Gnome-supervised, newly-planted mini herb garden! More herbs to come soon.... Suggestions?

Counterfeit Coins


Learn to recognize the counterfeit coins
That may buy you just a moment of pleasure
But then drag you for days
Like a broken man
Behind a farting camel

~Hafiz of Persia~


Deva Premal ~ Om Namo Bhagavate

You Were Brave in that Holy War


You have done well
In the contest of madness.

You were brave in that holy war.

You have all the honorable wounds
Of one who has tried to find love
Where the Beautiful Bird
Does not drink.

May I speak to you
Like we are close
And locked away together?

Once I found a stray kitten
And I used to soak my fingers
In warm milk;

It came to think I was five mothers
On one hand.

Wayfarer,
Why not rest your tired body?
Lean back and close your eyes.

Come morning
I will kneel by your side and feed you.
I will so gently
Spread open your mouth
And let you taste something of my
Sacred mind and life.

Surely
There is something wrong
With your ideas of
God

O, surely there is something wrong
With your ideas of
God

If you think
Our Beloved would not be so
Tender.

~Hafiz of Persia~
