we are all eternal

all is good
we are all eternal
what we love in our hearts lives forever
if fear doubt or uncertainty raises its head up
just bop it down with this reminder:
all is good
we are eternal
what we love in our hearts lives forever
who we are
that's a forever thing

when fear comes
tell it to "shush" so you can get on about thinking
the truth about yourself and about love
the sacred geometry of your mind and your body and your heart.


how can we make sense of these events?
i don't think we can.
i know i went to see a jazz show last night
and they had a photoshow projected on the screen
with all these survivors.
dizzy miles coletrane
you know the deal
monk
all those cats
chet baker and on and on
their hands wrinkled in some flicks,
smooth and young as baby's asses in others

some had been through wars and "conflicts"
playing music all the way
maybe speaking their peace
maybe not

making music
creating
playing it close to the bone all the way
suffering dragging
laughing drink and drugging
shrugging doing their thing
regardless

the life is so damned fragile anyway
sad that things like this remind us of that
truth

these cats they are eternal
they never died.

why would it be different for any one of us.
it isn't.
