I'd never really been content with just churning out these slim volumes every three or four years. I've always tried to think of poetry as an active ingredient in the language rather than just something that appears between the covers of thin books. ↗

Before the house you live in was built, there was an empty space, before the tree could provide shade to you, the tree was just a seed, before you were born, part of you existed within two separate people, and when you die, the house, the tree and your body will cease to exist as your mind perceives them today. Be free from the illusion of ownership over, this and that; Wake up, and embrace a reality of constant change, go with the flow, and enjoy the ride, be free today! ↗

Some things are hard to imagine. Can you conceive of excessive contentment, for example? Or an over pleasant evening? Too much happiness? ↗
