Point of Journey
Posted: June 27, 2021 Filed under: writings | Tags: Chlobirdpoetry, Creative Writing, Diary sketches, inspiration, journey, prose, reflect on being busy, soul journey, work Leave a commentJourney to the end of the street, down Main Highway
Back down Main Highway
To work on Art
To work at the Art Gallery
To work on writing
To work on printing
To work on that one piece that is almost done
Journey to the end of town
Home.
Work on Love
Work on dinner
Work on Zen
Journey to the strip mall
Work behind the bar
Serve food, pour beer & humor the needy
Work on multi tasking
Realize more needs
Journey to bed
Contemplate breath
Work to be in the gap
Work to leave work behind
Work to not scratch 20 mosquito bites
Work to be a calm
To be in stillness
To expand stillness
To not smoke a joint to attain stillness
To not smoke a joint?
Why?
The headline question is, Why?
If mind makes matter, replace why with is?
Look at what you have created, at work on your journey to be!
Talk to self through paper to converse with one’s own mystery, which is
The mind and birth of thought as we
Work through the days
Stampede to the next birthday just so you can exhale
Remember the exhale as you accelerate
The sweet release you give to self when palms open
And when palms open to extend fingers
This is the stuff magic is made of –
Watch it disappear when you are not looking.
As matter turns to frequency
The revelation?
None of that shit matters.

This is dedicated to my best friend, Lorena Wright. She came up with this quote when we were teenagers, drunk and underage and very prophetic. This is a typewritten quote on a mono-print card. 2by3inches.

This is an Ode to Frankie. Frankie found me sitting on the bench outside the kitchen window. He would pop out of the bushes, meowing and flirting as cats do. This began to happen often and I started feeding him sandwich meats and tins of tuna, whatever I could find. Mother told me, ‘there’s no way THAT CAT can come in’ reminding me of shedding fur and fleas and allergies. It wasn’t until I left home that mum had a bit of the ’empty nest’ syndrome. One stormy night, a very wet and bedraggled looking Frankie pressed his face against the window, bellowing to come in, ears flat against the wind and rain. Mum opened the door and dried him off with a towel. He is now a permanent resident, with his own cat-flap galore. It’s interesting how cats turn up when you need them, whether you know it or not. They are always a welcome addition to the house, even if they weren’t planned, I bet the cat chose you long before you thought to open the door.
The center is everywhere

The words are lines of poetry from ‘Calling Free Thought,’ a poem I wrote partly inspired by the movie, I Heart Huckabees.
On the boat over black water sound, key largo. Enjoying a moment as the sun set. Of course I had to go home and try to recapture the moment by adding a poem to it.
