Reaching out beyond the dream of what you thought was real, spinning on this ball of life, head now under heel. Ready to die, to live this life so raw, alive on ledge- dancing, hurling, freeing your soul to finally stretch the edge.

Today I woke the sun

There are the mountains you have climbed
only to have fallen down the other side.

You have lived in the depths of abundance
only to blink your eyes and find yourself drowning in an abyss.

Oh and haven't you danced to the music of life only
to have life swept out from under your feet?

But every time the sun rises to warm your face
at the end of the darkest night
Life kisses you as you dance up the mountain
one more time.

All of those hurts-the ones you've inflicted and the ones you've endured. I think it's the ones that I've dished out that hurt me the most-now. Remorse is the most lethal karma until I remember that my inflictions of pain on others helped them in the end, the way my own wounds have healed me.

"We're all just here walking each other home."
