The butcher makes the most wonderful marinated chops as i sit down

to it


i found myself buying supplies at the supermarket today as though for some

situation un-forseen


at work they spoke of business closures and lack of work

a man was fired also

that was an opportunity un forseen also


i waited impatiently for the money side of things to come around

i watch the spoilt get spoilt and feel poorer than me


i march with the glimmer in my eye of "winner" even though possibly worse off

financially than they


yet loser was written on who took count of loss everyday even when loss was

no where in sight


and tried to paste it over another when they chose

in hopes of gaining win

i work dilligently to fullfill

some task

which does not come immediately

it takes time

i don't understand always why things are the way they are


expecting some smooth running that does not come when i stand still


i out lasted some people where i would normally have moved away


i pulled some stones from the roof i forgot where there

i feel no need to give excuse


only share

and pull sticks from the stream


every thing went a little crazy today

i felt fine

things felt falling apart

i am racing towards the future

with excitement and purpose



i like fish

and pork

and these chops

there was a mountain named jebadiah

he was swimming in a stream

as he woke he pulled his trunks up

in the style of a swimmer broad shouldered smile



his pastels emerged from the stream

with evvenessent bubbling rasp

three images prevailed


two godlike mirrored images upon the pond

three bull frogs upon a frond

one sang sweetly to her prince as the prince

wooed her with him wisdom song


she was never away for very long

within the three images

nothing was wrong



a sandy beach

a coconut palm tree

sitting beneath

the oil of the coconut was strong


love of the wind

love of sun

moons horizon stuck around long



as the shadow of the day

passed and came



the tide away never gone

off on another shore

not for long

[runningstream]

planting carrots

purple ones

from the market

of life

and some bok choy



two bag fulls of lemons

now

to the woman to cleanse

glad they can be given where they are needed


found myself in the supermarket again

standing there


the checkout song

bip bip bip bip


the lights so bright

it dawned on me in that light


what the hell is going on here

bip bip

do you grow tired or crazy at this song



the girl said no i dont really hear it anymore

but some people but their bips up really loud

some down low

[Nichi]

These are wonderful.

where i live i will take you now

in my heart ill show you how



the creek is not far

the water from the tap is not hot


i made it my self



i have a roof on top

pitter patter pitter patter gives rise to

thunderous roar


when the rain comes it

definitely sounds more


i hear the bip mysef

some times i think to respond bop ?


watch me down the fence post

at the front in your heart


that s what i been trying to say


my friend the water

was a woman in my heart that day


the sky opened up

and her flower

was the whole world

[runningstream]

silence who said that ?

watching "suspense"

back to the fence post now



im going to tell another story

ill tell another even more




"silence" who said that


tensegrity you must be flowering joking


no

tension

and its right there before your eyes in her eyes


shes in the pond you

know with her prince


if he is a dumbass he wont listen

and shell get pissed


if shes dear to his heart

and the love is true


there s no silence that can

tear that love apart


its in the trees


it want s to wander somewhere to be alone


yet theyll dance in the streets


together one way or another

[runningstream]

the lover

the lover


\\the lover

did you pass the lover on the road

or was the lover the road


i have to wash this pot still

from the marinated chops


the dogs got there bones


and a kennel made of plastic


plastic

plastic

plastic


its serious business

i tried to select serious business from the additional options




i could not find it

i guess im just excited to have the day off tomorrow

life seems a bit more excited and vibrant under those circumstances

[runningstream]

we should start this one with three today


three aboriginal men standing around a trreeee


paper bark

thats the one i see


what do you know its on a creek !


the boy places his foot

and as he does i follow

its the way across

like " heaven" to earth

or something

it seems





there are crocodiles in the river

there often are


his foot slips

i blurt out some laugh



his eyes pin me still

and swift


he teaches me this lesson



to pass across



this is  " not neccessary "  he tells me


it is the feeling that gets you


later you will say oh i can't remember

but you'll never forget that feeling

[runningstream]

standing on grassy meadow

looking down times line

paces many few passed

watching the sheep from the ledge


standing around seeing close seeing far

who can see

times line


valued opinions

love of life

who can pass


two sisters in the nights sky

swapping dresses

finding harmonic tines



each bellows out the new days song

resonance sticking around for aeon


walking amidst howling passers by

wanting to own the sky


having never learned to fly

demanding to know why


channeling the stars to the planet blue


time passing through the eye

did they push it beyond this moment


could we see that it was handling awareness

not exceeding it


with the childs fumbling hand

[runningstream]

this day the sun is out

i wan t to say it could be so easy really

awareness

that s all it would take

not love not even light

to make it alright

nothing lacking just a simple birth

from the right place the right spot

beginning steps

walking like the infant

sure love will grow

from the joy

forgetting the pain of birth

John 10 New International Version (NIV)

The Good Shepherd and His Sheep
10 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” 6 Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.

14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

19 The Jews who heard these words were again divided. 20 Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and raving mad. Why listen to him?”

21 But others said, “These are not the sayings of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”

I used to live in Perth myself once.

[runningstream]

was it a enjoyable place to live?

i picture it being a little more easy going than the east coast and pace

and in its people
