Words Escape Me

I noticed a tree tonight.
No adequate words. Beautiful, ordinary...
Just THERE!
On occasion something like this will happen and
I'll say to the person I'm with,
"Do you see THAT?!"They'll say,
"Yeah. It's a tree."
Or someone will say to me,
"Wow!Herb!Do you see THAT?! "I'll say,
"Yeah. It's a tree."

Yes Herb I can identify with that situation. I think the miracle occurs when both at the same moment recognize the thereness of the tree. Of course that might require a nice hallucinogen or a ten day silent retreat.

The previous post was from asshole Johnny. Reflective Johnny also has experienced those moments. It's just that sometimes, asshole Johnny worries that reflective Johnny may wander too far and fall off a cliff.

Kooks-nice to "hear" your voice!

Johnny I hear you although the cliff might just be your imagination. (Or it might really be a cliff and in that case you can just enjoy the descent to the earth. Homecoming.)
