unwind in the wind
the road is there for me
or a beach
that is what it's like to me to
unwinding a big big steel heart listen to her sing
but first thought of Vermont is terror
ice
unuasly hard super slick surface
on a calm day lucky day
but the wind could take you in a heart beat
a thrilling ride like a seventy foot sail truck
Them old hills in Virginia how my hurt aches with thoughts of beauty.

i agree with yab... who woulda thunk?
"tune in, unplug, drop out" - laurence j. kobie said that, i think.

this is probably just so much gibberish, but it is spontaneous, for what its worth, I called judih little sister once (if she don't mind me using her name in vain) which is bullshit, she is more like a big sister kind of feeling. I tell you this big brother, I missed it, my strange feeling nothing to do with Budhism ust winter weather. So I jabbered on.
Not really knowing about what it was about.
I could not even call myself a novice zen practicioner, About all the online zen I can stand is studio eight, but that haiku board at Litkicks is a national treasure.
I checked out the site and notice they make a special appeal to "newbies" looks like they get a pretty good crowd.
Artman I never thought of you as a newbe
