If there are many

answers to the big questions,

can they all be right?

~

A wise Jedi once

told me, “Everything is true,

from a certain point of view!”

Why are life’s pleasures

So much easier to seek

Than the prices are to pay?

~

Seeking is sometimes

much easier than paying

the price for what’s sought.

When winter winds blow

and we’re still far from home, What

must we do to tend the flame?

~

Cherish the warming

of remembered smiles’ glow

and smokey hearth’s aroma.

 If wise Divine knew

The mettle of his stewards,

What might be his good plan B?

~

It’s been said that His

stewards need to stop stewing

and open their hearts to be.

Now that the battle’s

almost won, does anyone

know what the fight was about?

~

Do soldiers ever

question why the bullets fly

once the battle is joined?

Perhaps the Divine

Suffered some kind of a

“Galactic” lapse of reason?

~

Maybe not a lapse

of reason, but a misplaced

faith in humans’ learning curve.

With distractions here,

there, and everywhere, what will

help us get a grip and see?

~

MAYBE all eyes will

Open before we drown in

That smelly tributary.

Life will find its way

to flourish, spread, and blossom.

Will us or nil us, perhaps?

~

God surely had a

contingency plan when He

made us stewards of this earth.

When new life springs from

what we pronounce dead and gone

should we celebrate or mourn?

Zen masters teach us

“All wisdom is non-dual.”

So they are, in fact, the same.
