Pause (and drumroll) please... 🎉🎉🎉

Hey you guys!! I have some pretty exciting news :D For the past few months, I've been hard at work creating an illustrated (!) compilation of poetry and meditations. Some of these poems began here as little sprouts, now fully bloomed and ready for a deeper appreciation.

Other meditations, like "Marcus Aurelius Was Zen as Fuck", have also evolved their way into the chapbook. At 73 pages, "Sakura" is on the smaller side, but its offerings hopefully inspire an alternative sort of contemplation.

"Sakura" is currently available as a Kindle e-book for $4.99! You can download a sample on Amazon : https://a.co/d/5cnwGVh.

EPUBs are also available at Smash Words and elsewhere - but, because the book is highly visual, I strongly encourage that you check out the e-book if you can!

A glossy paperback will soon be available for purchase! More details to follow. Feel free to share and message me if you'd like more info.

Thank you for your support!! 🌱🌸💮

P.S. You can, in fact, read the book online for free 😂 Comments and feedback welcome!

“and when our bodies rise again, they will be wildflowers, then rabbits, then wolves singing a perfect love to the beautiful, meaningless moon.”

— Philip Appleman, from “Gathering by the River,” Poetry (October/November 1987)

Ostersensible

Thought would be an astronaut or fighter

Make something to make tl world brighter

Or ffor others that work should be lighter

Instead of doing odd job day and nighter

Though not as seems makes good writer

Not at all what planned when first begun

Tried hard worked a little bit and had fun

Felt be doing good so far on as life's run

Bst somehow life all a sudden just spun

Where had nothing for all that had done

Always thought wife family job as prize

Having no idea life comes with surprise

At first the failure caused much despise

Then learn how to adjust becoming wse

That eventually in time was going to rise

As children life was not as it would seem

Certain turn of events went to an extreme

Only there to take away from t a true been

Especially when it as a very good scheme

When it was meant to be in time redeem

Stress is a state of mind and body.

Peace is the nature of your being.

It is unchanging.
