A gift is a fruit:
juicy, nourishing,
sweet in its beautiful skin —
cradling a seed of hope,
a seed of another gift.

Where the fruit goes,
where the seed takes root,
stretching upward to the light:
a quiet unfolding,
the magic of life.

Disappearing
as if the world’s all just you —
nothing else shining

Disappearing
like in the ocean a drop —
Lost in the vast blue

Disappearing —
you are sea, sky, and mountain,
melting in them all

— rawjeev

Tinkering is a very important concept that I find myself explaining to people now and then. I thought It would be good to gather in a post, some of those quotes related to tinkering that have framed it for me.

Sensuous presence —
Moon becoming poetry,
And poetry moon

In soft moon poetry —
How much beauty is the moon,
How much is poetry

— rawjeev

“Only to the white man was nature a wilderness, and only to him it was ‘infested’ with ‘wild’ animals and ‘savage’ people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.”

— Luther Standing Bear (1868-1939)
