bliss meal night

blogs may come more rapidly for a bit

lots of things shakin

i wrote my aging dad the most honest letter I could

about things I want to really talk about

while moments remain abundant

two weeks off to heal the mildest of wrist sprains

has offered a good taste of early retirement

or pretiree-training as martin says

i'm considering how an RV appearance

kind of gets you accepted in legit circles

but I'm thinking maybe best of all is

a fifth wheel camper on a truck

or an airstream

semi legit

mostly i am savoring a lovely communal dinner

i just shared

where several people pitched in vegetables

and curry and coconut milk

someone even brought some meat

which went right in my curry soup bowl

a blissful juicy medium-rare protein chunk

underneath all those veggies

some basil someone found in the yard

and the first yellow squash i picked

someone even brought good wine

and mentored the group in the art of toasting

very much related to the affirmations

Dr. Omoto demonstrates putting into water

generating vibrant crystalline structures

pulsing with life energy and health

we then laughed to spaceballs the movie

projected from a laptop

onto the side of a garage

around which we sat

sharing the most delicious meal

as at rest i digest

these lessons of abundance

it belonged to that field of meals

that exists beyond right and wrong

and I've met you there

-----

it was such a pleasant evening

that after the indescribable moment

diving into the cold ocean in pants

with the maximum freedom

of diving deep and fully under a big wave

and giving myself up to the ocean

for that two-to-three second interval

where immersed carried interacting trusting

i was enveloped

i not only biked home to shower

but then rode the bike over to

the new friends' for dinner

with the viola in my left arm

wearing the sarong

and the aikido pants I use for dancing

along with the back pack full of veggies

bottle of wine

chocolate

and I thought

it's a good day to die

one cuff tangled in the gears

it'd be sure to make the papers

viola, wine and assorted vegetables

strewn in chaos around the street

an organic chocolate bar

and some smushed kiwis

a truly neutral observer

might notice the blissful theme

conclude

someone was living in the fullness of a moment

and hopefully looking at my amused dead face

laugh himself into enlightenment

and in the parade

amidst the beads and flashing

people could wear little twisted bike necklaces

with a push button gizmo revealing a heavily accented

may the schwarz be with you
