sleeping monk

when I sleep I'm healthy
striding deep in pine forests
up and over gnarly roots
inspecting forest floor mushrooms
and high branch Ravens

when I wake
I'm sick
 with "the cancer"
my very blood is rebelling

Brother John says: "Sleep is God's Medicine".

good remedy for this most tired monk.

  1. Ollie, sad news that you are going through this. I wish you all good things. I love the dreams - the forest, the ravens. I am always happy to see you pop up on my blogroll. Amazing how long ago 2010 is, isnt it? But we're still here, just much tireder. Smiles.

  2. Brother Ollie, I know you are going through a rough patch. Human Paradox, just filled me in on the details. You have all my prayers and support. Please take comfort in knowing the cast and crew at Square Corner transmit all their energy and optimism that you will recover soon. Please take care. HP, SC, and Brother Ollie should get together this summer. If you need anything, let me know.
