Forget your person
Discard everything you've
ever known about your
self
Abandon all of this to
Find nothing
Rawer than fear
Freer than love
Marriage tears at
your heart
Rips apart the seams
Of your personal self
Created drama
A complex web of
personhood is wiped
away in one swoop
There is nothing left
And in that space
There's possibility
Clarity, luminous dust
Just Jean is one woman's life journey with a glimpse contained within these short essays and poems. During each of our life journeys, there are an infinite number of chance meetings that impact our lives forever. These are opportunities to connect deeply to our common humanity, both fearlessly and daringly. Basic goodness is available to us all. There is always a fresh moment waiting in the next breath to press the reset button and begin again.

APPRECIATION
There's no direction in space
Far away stars are already extinguished
There's light from a past
Traveling to the perceiver
Trees stand, they don't walk
They are relatively quiet
So listen
Wind and speed disrupt
To the point of death
Dharma pierces sleepiness
Suddenly, sometimes uncomfortably one is awakened
Anxiety is a constricted state of mind
Where joy and delight wait
For the migraine of fear to subside, and open space
Where appreciation can enter
