a little neighbourhood humour
goes a long way
on a day
when the creative energy
seems fleeting

(as i approach my first 100 days of this 365 project, i am painfully aware of being in a total slump - and i need to let that be ok...)

when the day is done
and i realize
once again
that the creative flow
barely trickles
i am reminded
that this current state is impermanent
and that
i
am
buddha-full

starry, starry night.
paint your palette blue and grey,
look out on a summer's day,
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
