Favorite samples (Note:each paragraph is a seperate poem):

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field... I'll meet you there

There is a way between voice and presence where information flows. In disciplined silence it opens. With wandering talk it closes.

Dance, as though no one is watching, Love, as though you've never been hurt before, Sing, as though no one can hear you, Work, as though you don't need the money, Live, as though heaven is on earth.

I have lived on the lip of insanity, wanting to know reasons, knocking on a door. It opens. I've been knocking from the inside!

Nibble at Me
Nibble at me. Don't gulp me down. How often is it you have a guest in your house who can fix everything?

Who Makes These Changes
Who makes these changes? I shoot an arrow right. It lands left. I ride after a deer and find myself chased by a hog. I plot to get what I want and end up in prison. I dig pits to trap others and fall in.

I should be suspicious of what I want.
