End of the year reading specials

I was going through things. I mean I was entertaining my yearly silliness where I clean and organize so I can mess shit up again. HEY! At least I am consistent. Anywho, I saw a sketchbook. Then I saw this poem in that sketchbook. 2015. This was from 2015. It was not a complete journal. :D That’s so me!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this piece. Oh….photo of slug taken by me.

Slug Zen

Like a slug in a Zen garden

I must learn what this isn’t

It isn’t about time taken

It isn’t about sand on muscles

It isn’t about the urgency of movement

Like that slug in this Zen garden

I must learn what the tracks are

The tracks of others

The tracks of others’ journey

These tracks can be transversed

Like, me, the slug, we are in Zen

Sand and muscle. Slowing Flowing

Following our own map

Knowing our growing is just that

Our time. Our journey. Our path

Just like the slug in my Zen garden
