I had a panic attack?
A panic attack had me?
What about:
- I have anxiety
- My to-do lists have to-do lists
- After my leave from work, I nearly left my newborn
- I failed parenting in one full moon
- I’ve been initiated into fatherhood
What about a funny anecdote?
Paramedics asking
if my meditation was working,
Only it wasn’t a joke
and I was laughing,
rehearsing the old song
controlling me all along:
“Maybe I have been doing it wrong?”
Maybe I was right,
Maybe I
did
die
What’s more urgent than being alive?

- “Even before I was me, I was God in God; And I can be once again, as soon as I am dead to myself.” Angelus Silesius
- “I know artists whose medium is life itself, and who express the inexpressible without brush, pencil, chisel or guitar. They neither paint nor dance. Their medium is Being. Whatever their hand touches has increased life…. They are the artists of being alive.” Frederick Franck
