Eight years ago, right about this time, my life was a process of transformations. Significant ones. Life changers. World changers. Personal, spiritual, career, love: you name it, it was changing. It seemed like Bif Naked had a song for every single transformation, every single condition I was experiencing.

Prayer Wheels
I will not count them: the prayer wheels, the meters, the pilgrims, the steps, the number of times I will feel the smooth patina of wood against my palm. I say to Emma: “I want to do this.” She assents.
First Beach Sunset
That in the moments when it is easiest
To feel the connection to all things
We feel connected to each other
Oh Canada!
Are just so
Oh Canada!
Like an oval
Cleared of snow
On the surface
Of a frozen lake
My eye, right back at me
Without words, show him the basics
He steps away
Points my eye right back at me
And snaps a perfect moment
It occurs to me… Sometimes
The best way to see ourselves
Is to hand our vision to someone else
And let them tell us what they see
Understanding Fame
“If you stand anywhere
In the Middle Kingdom
And turn 180 degrees
You will surely see
Another human being”
A Heavy Burden
For mere words to bear

Kakadu in the summer, no — it’s fall — no, actually, spring
We get confused about seasons
Like when we’re in Kakadu
And it’s October
Which is fall
Except it’s early spring
Yeah, spring in Australia
