Distant sound of cars
Slushing on a rainy street
Silence of my room

being idle

Montréal, QC - November 2011
------------
This is me doing what I do best - enjoying a cup of coffee!

We were near the observation area at the top of Mount Royal park when we went into this building. There were a couple of guys behind us playing chess or backgammon or something - seems like a great place to do so.

It should be noted that the beverage is a vanilla latte - from a vending machine! The coffee vending machines in Montreal seem to have consistently amazing, gourmet coffee available for about $2. This was actually almost coffee-shop quality.
One of my best memories from the best trip that I have ever taken!

Ryan

The line slowly moves
but I am calm like the breeze
As i sit with tea

Light flash from a star
Brings me back to moment
Of impermanence

Le cocher du soleil
De nous le soleil se cache
Et on se couche

Je ne sais plus
Qui ou pourquoi, pour qui
pour quel, duquel

Humans be, are, will
Beings be-ing,
Working towards...?

The sun rises and sets
And we say time has passed
From space its timeless.

The day broke
And never was otherwise
Again and again

The source of us all
Lies under-neath of what-who
We suppose we('re) suppose(d)
To be.

Anxiety
Reminds sans cesse
Que j'gotta move

Setting sun reflects
Too bright too look but i do
And i see myself

guitar

one note ringing out
from an old man's old guitar
speaks of his sorrow

Unattach
Only breath, smile.
And concern yourself not.

My thoughts echo
Like loud guitars screaming
Beautiful noise forever

Look at the sky, now
And ponder your birth and death
Between, celebrate!

Human connection
Born of smiles and hugs and laughs
Not a glowing screen

Occupy, occupé
In an office cubicle
In a muddy park

Puissant mais impuisant
L'illusion de choix partout
Mais la vie qui vous choix

Yellow mustard wall
Buffer between, around
The shiny black of my coffee

Old acqaintances
Pass on street numb as feet in snow
Un-knowing, dis-acquainted

Lost in myself here
Thought inside thought over dream
Feeling like just a word on a page in the library

Brisk with confidence
Business woman walking blocks
She is money is time.
