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.

Worship

One day in your company
    came a random earthquake
The walls shook like a deer's heartbeat
The ground rumbled under us, the swelling          of dragon wings
You became fearless in the danger
The rush of adrenaline, hero force of nature

As Vulcan and Venus play their part
I fell into your arms like gravity
Jump willingly into the fiery abyss
Subdue with a bodily offering into the substratum, surrender to the season
For a human sacrifice beyond reason
Immolate my ego and acquiesce

Lift away and disrobe
  all that is fleeting
Underneath we are Godlike
     perennial in the quiet places of mutterings, breath like a prayer in that temple we worship together
