Arlo and Ham, comments as I go:

     You see, Ham likes to say he doesn't know
everything, but then he'll eventually come around and
say he does know everything -ego talk if you ask me. 
Ego as in confused attachment.  Not referring to Ham,
as of yet, being stuck on himself in a boasting kind
of way.

     Yeah, Ham finds quietness to be unintellectual. 
When I say quiet, Ham stops talking.  Yet, when I
experience quiet, I hear a lively world of woods.

     Yeah, this seems to be a confused attachment to
an ego, a world without change, notice in seasons.  
     I'm just seein' white snow on gray-brown
branches.  Ah, and a cup of hot coffee would go well
on this very cold, snowy, trees all around, evening...
 I've got this thought, concentrating upon,
experiencing this, so lovely this white, green, brown,
hilly sky.


red maple full of syrup, 
     I hear your thoughts,
snow blown off branches,
     I see your movement,
heart beating intellectualizing,
     I listen, I feel


thanks.


winter wind blowing through here,
