The East side beckons

A future that never came

8/1/2012
You are wonderful
I’ve said it often before
I will never stop

8/2/2012
We’re trapped by hatred
Warmongers stroke the fires
All we need is love

8/3/2012
Noise can be a friend
Reminding us to awake
For what we have shared

8/4/2012
Do you remember
Making mix tapes of our songs
Decades passed quickly

8/5/2012
I thought I saw you
A shadow brushing my leg
A Doberman dream

8/6/2012
Moments happen when
The relief seems possible
Physics negate it

8/7/2012
We explore planets
With robotic surrogates
Mystery ourselves

8/8/2012
We stoke the fire
Actions without consequence
Karma comes around

8/9/2012
Life’s a marathon
Elegance of the journey
Trumps instant success

8/10/2012
It took me seconds
To realize what was framed
You’re a romantic

8/11/2012
I don’t deserve you
It’s an honest sentiment
Makes me work harder

8/12/2012
Beeps and pops abound
A constant cacophony
That is our soundtrack

8/13/2012
It’s one last prayer
Dear God please deliver us
No one to listen

8/14/2012
Dates are meaningless
Encumbered with such power
Another check mark

8/15/2012
Once around the sun
Words on a virtual notepad
In five seven five

About Me


Alex J.

Born of the sand and blood / Emigrated to the land of one / Searching for awakening / But lost in my own head / Share my life with a Buddha


Favorite Quote


In the same way that someone in the midst of a rough crowd guards a wound with great care, so in the midst of bad company should one always guard the wound that is the mind.

-Santideva, "Bodhicaryavatara"
