Attachment and aversion

Monday, October 22nd, 2001

In attachment blossoms fall,
and in aversion weeds spread.

Old Year

Wednesday, October 10th, 2001

Closed out the old year
And held a dream of spring behind
My shut eyes…til now
This morning I opened them to see
It’s really come into the world.
