His tiny, gentle hands
still containing his baby plumpness
are usually sticky with dirt or a posicle,
either digging through a sandbox
reaching for food to fill his bottomless tummy
or holding onto my hand.
He does each in his backyard,
dragging me along through
the different places in his backyard is,
like seeing a beach on Kaui,
the grassy plains of New Zealand,
and the techy streets of Japan.
Feeling his sticky palm in mine,
I wonder, Why is he taking me everywhere?
Does he know something I don’t?
His cherub like face looks intently
at my own as he drags me down.
His hands have captured
my face as he says
Well, you’re my best buddy.
As if its the most obvious thing ever.
Come with me, he says,
and he grabs my hand once more.

Sharing the Love – an inconvenience
an inconvenience
is a wrongly considered adventure.
your experiences
are coloured
by the lens through
which you view them
insert an attitude
plagued with problems,
you will receive
nothing but nightmares.
insert a proclivity for openness,
you will receive opportunities & wisdom.
predicting a predicament
as the end of the world
will only make it so.
remove the labels
on each of life’s encounters,
judge not.
you get out of life
only what you put in.

Word
Shut up, live, travel, adventure, bless and don’t be sorry.
getting lost
not knowing when or where it started
mind gone blissfully blank
drunk on the love of adventure
let me keep going further
through these winding trails
not a forest, neither a jungle
so lush and deceptively beautiful
overgrown with subtle thorns
hear a birds melancholy tune
the sun fades and night comes
not lost but willingly giving in
to the surrender of a journey
trusting, memorizing only sensations
to nowhere that I know
grabbing every tree as I go
not ending up where I thought
the destination somehow wrong
though looking back on sodden ground
i can’t help but smile
wondering if I’ll get lost again
