Wind On Willow

or bamboo
or ear on flute
or nose on cherry blossoms

Window as in opening
Willow as is in dancing
in the wind by lake

Window on bamboo
in rain
Drops tumbling
down window
like cut crystal
glazed by the sun
mirroring greens

ear as in listening
flute as is in song
of the reed from bamboo

Nose as in tasteing the smell
so absorbed
and falling gracefully
like pink snow petals

Window on willow
Longing for
fields of bamboo
till you are not
all here
or there
but somewhere
across lines
in between
parallels unseen

Truth Or Consequencies

I wrote this essay as a comment to articles on the following site: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/archives/2007/02/ One might not think so, but there is a relationship, between trans fat, global warming and the drunk driving issue. Unfortunately, I think that the problem has to do with education. These days in school, we are so afraid to step on someone's toes, so we avoid teaching morals in school, and why should we? Are you shocked? Read further. It has always seemed quite interesting to me that no one can come up with a simple means to start teaching community, integrity, self responsibility and the like to young children from their very first textbooks. I don't see that the word God has to be in there or in order to do that. All great religions teach a core of values that cross borders. There are values that are there in the constitution and the creation of America . By the way, a constitution created by people (whether or not you want to call it a dem
