Actions speak loudly
I believe too much in words
Words alone are weak

Pushing doesn't work
at least not in the long term
Yet you can't just sleep

Putting out fires
can create fires inside
when done all day long

My issues exist
yet they need not torture me,
my breath lets them know

They exist and yet
I can let the noises go
lower the volume

It is what it is
like so many chilled sayings
is not without truth

Communication
can bring out beautiful things
when you say things right

Is only sleep sleep?
I want to replicate sleep.
Does hypnosis count?

Oh to get gotten
like in those Ben Lee lyrics,
I've got songs that give

Flannery was square
so uncool that she was cool
seeing what we won't

Appelfed just wants
to find his way back to home;
that's where I connect

585-588

Circle me with light
that spreads about to others
Enlightening G-d

Amidst the rushing
sometimes I stop and just breathe
taking time to live

A friend of mine thinks
that I was once a yogi
in a former life

A rebbe of mine
said I should read Sidhartha
because i am him

On the day we're born
more light comes into the world
through our shining souls.

My Jewish birthday
is the thirteenth of Tishrei.
This makes me happy.

Birthdays are good days
to look back and look forward,
take stock of our days.

Friend, I am grateful
for your celebrating me
on my day of birth.

Anniversary
of the day that I was born
I should celebrate.

Not just a number
that's a lie that people say.
Every birthday counts

We need some answers
though we'll never have them all
Life's a long question

The forrests and trees
Each in their way await me
I'd better focus

Modeh Ani, me
The body part of me says
Thanks G-d, for the soul
