A Thousand Small Nirvanas
I see the Dharma
In curling cigarette smoke
Like calligraphy.
Impermanent wisps
Like fog on the Marquette shores
Impart lasting truths.
Through seas and deserts
A thousand small Nirvanas
Follow everywhere.

Exquisite.
Holy cow that's good, and I don't even like poetry.
"smokings bad, smokings evil!" unless, of course, it produces poetry...
and, well, you're just wrong! The best sunsets are on a mountain top (not really... I agree, from one of the great lakes they are grand... disagreeing makes for better reading;).
Nice...like a little trilogy of haiku. I'll think of the little Nirvanas when the marine layer rolls in tonight.
This is a good new blog you so far.
Noticing that you’re starting time in military and viewing events in the military from an
independent point of view.
this blog is worth looking at:

Hey Milo. I'm glad to see that you still use the name I bestowed upon you...eons ago. I'm glad that you're doing so well and congrats on your nuptials. And keep up the good work. -Maria
An unexpected subject for poetry. I love it.
Maria-
Thank you. When I chose my pseudonym, the name seemed appropriate, given my current occupation. Glad to see you're still around. Now you know where to find me.

Question: when you sent that email linking me to your blog, was that your intent that I contact you or coincidence?
Stunning poem! I hope you don't mind if I cross post it on my blog (because I'm doing it anyway ;P)
Coincidence. I'm surprised you even contacted me at all.
I had pretty much given up on mending fences with you. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly a pleasant enough surprise, I guess, but I thought you'd sent a pretty clear message never to talk to you again.
So, out of curiosity, why ARE you here?
