Life & Death

While about my work this weekend I came upon a wasp trapped and trying to escape against a closed window. I felt pity for the wasp and so I decided to try and help free it. I raised the window a few inches and directed the wasp downward and in between the glass and the screen. I then went out to the screen, removed it and watched as the wasp flew away.

Coming back indoors I walked through a spider’s web and as I was clearing the strands from my face and hair I accidentally crushed a tiny spider.

Today

Nothing is new today- everything is new today-

with thoughts coming and going,

my world is made whole,

and I choose to slide

gently to

the

center-

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,

Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare,

Hare Rama, Hare Rama,

Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
