 Except for a few speedball black ink dandelions

I made no attempts at artistic embellishments

in my first handwritten book of poetry.

They Say

There may be some gems in here.

You might have to blow the dust a bit.

Critical minerals might require some smelting.

You get what you pay for.

They say.

The idea has recently been

that the legend is supplied 

for you and the map requires

you to fill in the blank page.

It's an idea, a work in progress.

Doodles in the little bathroom

 

Nothing to it

 

Nothing to it

When there’s nowhere to go

and nothing to do 

I go there 

and do 

that. 

No promise but proximity.

No direction but desire. 

Nothing to it.

April 12th Hobo Anthem since ever when 1973, or 2, who knows? 

There were hobos stirring soup in the Kettle of Creation.

Fish stories.

Mostly.

A Thought

I’m thinking of a poem about
writing you a letter from me 
that celebrates you. 

It has exactly everything 

you need to hear. It’s quite

elegant, exquisite and 

you will treasure it for years.

This may not be that poem 

but a draft, a sketch, a thought

Here and Gone

 .........

Here and Gone

In the middle of 

everything going on, 

course plotted, autopilot on,

Nothing to do. We need to wait.

Together. We wait together.

Perhaps we hold hands.

Bump shoulders.

Giggle.

Like so many moments 

this passes and we're 

off again.

Gone.

I like prompting biochemical 'feel good' bubbles for myself and others.

I like demonstrating that such acts might be within your reach.

Treasure Hunt Your Star Map

A legend on your map home.

Put a Star on each Topic section.

Note personal keyword planet moons for each Star Topic.

Also a Pocket Mind Map, hands on management tool for the unruly To Do list. A fine example of an Already Being list you keep in your heart pocket.

I am entertaining myself. I highly recommend such to you.

_______________________________________________

Tips • Toys • Tools • Trials • Tacos • 

Talents •Tickets • Terrors • Totems • Trinkets • 

Triumphs • Tribulations • Transformations • Transgressions

What else? The whole alphabet. Go for it.

Requirements: half a regular file folder or a sheet of cardstock.

Measure a bit. Make 6 sections nearly even. Do not be concerned about exact. This is a pocket mind map. When you are on the trail you won’t mind that this thing isn’t exact. Before folding, score the measured sections lightly with a ballpoint pen. It folds better.

(Breaking News -  sad note! This might all be done easier with a dozen 3x5” cards and a rubber band.)

Pocket Mind Map

 Pocket Mind Map

This requires a ruler, a ballpoint pen*, and about half a file folder, or sheet of card stock. Measure, score, and rule, or not, fold along first, then thirds. It will be bulky, but you do not need another hard surface when making notes. Fold it and focus your mind. Expand your traditional to do list with a larger sheet of paper. 

• * If you do not want ballpoint markings on your blank map, use a screwdriver or butter knife to make the scores.
  

In the winter spring of ‘23 my To Do list, and the greater projects list was getting unruly. I could not sese how it would all work out.

And I simply needed to add more space. I could focus my mind on a single thing for a minute and then fold it away. 

So I folded a piece of card stock. After a lifetime of holding pieces of paper, I finally folded a piece of card stock into six panels. Simple wonders.

I hope you find it useful. I'm having a ball ... ahem ahem ... greater clarity and productivity.
