The term Mindful has gone viral. Does it have any content beyond "aware"? When
you have acheived your freedom -- as in having nothing left to loose -- it is
time for serenity and contemplation. Med vennlig hilsen / Yours sincerely,

Coming home for weekend Liberty
At eighteen seemed intolerable. El Toro
Was nothing like the getting away
I had planned, months of training for
A short ride home? It wouldn't be
Like that in Korea. I planned
A transfer to the thirty-eighth,
But there were a few I knew
To drink with and not much else
To do even I heard at the front.
I had managed to get a long
Way from home. I stood in a pouring
Rain at post five on the north-east corner
Beyond a rice paddy filled to over-flowing
When something changed. I held my
M1 pointed down cloaked myself
In shadow and knew I'd be able
To see it before it saw me. On dark nights
Still I often enter your room and wait until
I see a sign that you're still breathing.

Attracted to Stoicism did I
Elide it to experience
Desire, or did I abandon it
And return to what I was
All along? I did not keep
It up. Desire for
You satisfied
My curiosity.
On the other hand
I have not returned
To Stoicism,
Fearing instead
The dread
Of losing you.
