About Me

My photo
I just returned back to the States after 11 years in Taiwan with my daughter. Taiwan is an excellent base for us explore Asia, while living in relative (gun free) safety, while benefiting from a cheap and efficient national health care system. The people are amazing too. I have Taiwanese friendships that are 20 years old and I'm always making new ones! My coworker here in CO is from Taiwan.

Grateful

Tis the season of gratitude
I am so grateful I’m not entangled with you
Thankful I never gave my heart to you
Your self hatred directed at the Light
Aware on some level it might enlighten you
Wisdom is poured into your ears like soul medicine
You spit it out and vomit words of war
I’m so thankful you’re so far from my periphery, though I pray you find Reality
I pity your petty conclusions, the hurts they inadequately cover
The illusions of control, of the arrogant
I’ve been here before
Wouldn’t join you for the ride if you asked me (but you won’t now)
Still I try one last attempt to save your sinking ship
Watch you sink f/the shore
You searched your whole life in vain
For this country, this paradise, deny love, God, no freedom even to dream
You searched for what you could not say
Peace eternal
My peace is free from your confusion
