My Tree

My brother and his wife watched the debate

Neither sleep that night

Deeply rattled by the play of Lela

The cast of characters so clearly delineated…

Oscar the Groch in his trash can…

Reminding me that when I was little

I had a monster living under my bed

So that I had to make a quick leap into bed,

Ah, the adventure of incarnating.

My friend Priscilla who is on the other side

Painted -My Tree -it was a favorite of hers-

This buddhist concept of

Unconditional Friendliness Towards Onself.

Which restores the balance

Althought you might not think it was so.

So be careful out there

Your peace belongs to you, its unconditional.
