Even as I watch the tree
we touch into eternity,
without a thought
or angel’s flight,
but knowing deeply
all is right.
Tree and I together rest
upon our common mother’s breast,
no beginning
and no end,
a sigh of peace
comes with the wind.

A word can crush the world
between its jaws,
a frightened dog
Its power is beyond your own,
you cannot call it back.
So, talk gently to each word
before you let it go.
Say do no harm to others.
And if you must speak to enemies
choose words with magic teeth.
Make friends with silence.

Toward the east where roses bloom
a garden is aborning.
Towards the west where grows the gloom
the city stones are mourning.

And in deep longing I know
that the whole world is the guru,
that life itself is the guru.
I am in a warm ocean
of wisdom and compassion.
I break down into healing tears
as I remember who I am.
I prostrate in gratitude
at the feet
of the beloved.
So far, it’s easy to find my website. Just search Google for the phrase tfgolz .
My name is Thomas Frederick Golz and this is my website: www.tfgolz.com .
The website name www.TomGolz.com was already taken by a graphics artist in Germany. So my friend Richard grabbed this website name for me. I think the byline -tfgolz and the website name www.tfgolz.com has a nice ring to it. Don’t you agree?
I am retired and more than ever, I am a writer.
This is my world view at sunset from my 2nd floor apartment in Chicago, IL USA.
As I learn more about WordPress and blogging, you may find my stories, narratives, photographs, and maybe even funny jokes posted to this blog. We shall see.
After all, writers write, right?
