The Bees

This is that time
When you stay where
You are and where
You wait in that line.

You get all those clouds
You understand this blank
Wafting, swirling sensation
Within and without.

You've stopped creating
Because you aren't being harvested,
Subdued and not sorry,
Unwilling to stop yourself.

For stopping isn't what I need to do.
'Stop' is what nature would say.
What I do is use the smoke
To keep the bees at bay.

About Me

I spend most of my time working as a mental health professional. I have been preoccupied with philosophy, politics, healing, and many other questions for the last 15 years or so. I am currently working on putting together my study of Plato and Aristotle with contemporary work in philosophy, psychology, psychotherapy, and trauma research. I use this place primarily as a workshop for ideas. I welcome conversation with anyone working on similar problems. The major contours of my basic project have been outlined here
