bipolar, at the same time

sometimes now
i'm achieving this nice
new state:

instead of mood
SWINGS

i'm having the "bad" feelings
and underneath them,
making them as if carried
by something more
"real"

i'm having the ongoing feelings
of the thrill
of being alive

the joy
of the moment

the delight
in what is now

and curiosity
about
what is
going to happen
next

all the while
the "crappy" stuff's
in there too

just like
some kind of log
floating up
and down
in an
ocean

oh,
well

Sunday

world series
world serious
whirled series

of words
coming along
to open the nest of fall

around here
things get confused
with the fall rains
brining the grass
and then warm days
and it's
like
upside down spring

and all the ads
says
halloween
halloween
and my Self
says:
go outside
and soak
it in

while it
lasts

and what
once again
is
"it?"

something to do
with love
i do reckon
and something
to do
with
awareness

the good old seven:

wake up to now
love being alive
love self
love others
be of use
be happy
heal the earth

la
la

spring
fall
whatever you
call "it"

life is good

and is that true?

who knows?

and still:
what fresh air
what beautiful sky

and maybe,
going with the fall theme,
we'll go rescue some walnuts
from the ground
