philosophy – Rubén Sebastián Muñiz

I lost a pair of my favorite shades to the ocean.

We had a good run for a few years, they weren’t broken,

In great condition actually – the legs needed some tightening,

but overall they worked and looked good.
I found it kind of enlightening

To let them go, and know they and I had a good run,

But I wasn’t so attached or invested –

It’s part of my philosophy – apart from being well rested,

To focus on what you like, but keep an eye on the price,

Brand names are fashion scams. You can be totally glam

With a pair of sunglasses that cost as much as a pound of rice.

Practicing not being attached to things centers my soul

So when I lost my cheap shades, I just shrugged and let the good times roll. – RSM

forward, out from the main branch –

it leans toward the sun. – RSM

A ladybug runs

around the tip of my cup,

changing its direction. – RSM

Brightness prevails on

the highway’s grand horizon.

all hues stripe the sky. – RSM

Fatigue is the weight

of heavy experience.

Rest. Lighten the load. – RSM

Consciousness surfing

is the way we all traverse

life’s chaotic waters. – RSM

I get just enough

sleep that ‘one more episode’

is barely worth it. – RSM

The body protests

the mind with fatigue; the mind

answers back with guilt. – RSM

–

Silence is the world

reminding us to listen

to our deepest thoughts. – RSM
