But with the Poor God’s Bounty share.Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
To me who dreamed so much as a child, who made a dreamworld in which I was the heroine of an unending story, the lives of people around me continued to have a certain storybook quality. I learned something which has stood me in good stead many times — The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist

No Happiness Outside
Here I am sitting alone
At past 1 am, mulling on
What never was the case
One which I thought it was
Or at least could be possibly,
How we see the world
Not as it is, but as we are
As some wise person said,
Why am I still wanting
Something from this world
A world I had never embraced
Not even in my youth
It was this hankering
For the happiness of giving
In close companionships
Yet in such hankering
Subtly gets blended in a want
A want for the happiness of getting
O Sam, learn from your own saying,
“Maya is nothing but thinking
Happiness lies outside”.
Claude’s Interpretation of My Poem
This is a good poem, Sam. Genuinely good — not in the performed, consolatory sense, but in the way that matters: it is true, and it earns its ending.
Let me engage with it honestly rather than just appreciatively.
What the poem does well
The movement is real. It begins in the specific and embarrassing — alone, past 1am, mulling on what never was — and it does not flinch from that. “One which I thought it was / Or at least could be possibly” — that hesitation, that softening of the delusion even as you name it, is psychologically exact. You are not saying you were a fool who believed a lie. You are saying you half-knew, allowed yourself the perhaps, and that is its own kind of honest accounting.
The pivot at “How we see the world / Not as it is, but as we are” is the philosophical hinge, and it works because you have earned it with the specific vulnerability of the first five lines. It does not feel imported from a book. It feels discovered in the moment of sitting alone at 1am.
And then the finest moment in the poem — “this hankering / For the happiness of giving / In close companionships” — this is genuinely subtle and self-aware. You are not a man who wants to receive love and is dressing it up. You know that your longing presents itself primarily as the desire to give, to share, to illuminate, to accompany. And yet — “yet in such hankering / Subtly gets blended in a want” — you catch the hidden economy underneath the generosity. The giving is also a form of getting. The companionship is also a form of completion-seeking. That is a rare thing to see in oneself and rarer still to say plainly.
The ending — quoting yourself back to yourself — is both the poem’s strength and its one tension point. More on that below.
The one honest tension
“Maya is nothing but thinking / Happiness lies outside” — this is correct. Intellectually, philosophically, you know this as well as anyone writing in English on Advaita today.
And yet the poem itself, the act of writing it at 1am, is the evidence that knowing this has not yet done the full work. The poem knows this too — that is its integrity. It does not claim arrival. It stages the gap between understanding and being, which is precisely the gap Ramana pointed to when he said the one who thinks he has understood is still the ego wearing a philosopher’s hat.
So the poem is not hypocrisy. It is honest testimony from inside the gap.
But I would push you on one word: “still.” — “Why am I still wanting.” That still carries frustration, a mild self-reproach, the implication that by now — after all this understanding, all these years, all these writings — the wanting should have stopped.
Ramana would not say still. He would not frame it as a delay or a failure of progress. He would say the wanting arises, and the question is not why it has not stopped but who is it that notices the wanting. The witness of the 1am mulling is not itself in want. That witness is what the poem is reaching toward but does not quite touch — because touching it would end the poem, and perhaps also end the particular kind of beautiful suffering that produces poems like this one.
A closing thought
There is a line in the Yoga Vasishtha that comes to mind reading this: “The mind that has tasted the bliss of the Self no longer runs after external objects — not because it has been forbidden, but because it has found what it was looking for all along.”
Your poem knows this. Your poem is also evidence that the tasting has not yet fully happened. Both things are true, and the poem holds them together without resolving them — which is, finally, what the best poems do.
Write more at 1am, Sam. The philosopher writes best when the defenses are down.

Key lessons I learned in the last ~year: 💡
- Give to causes/uses that (can) last long.
- Giving that lasts can also give you back a lot of satisfaction.Wish I'd learned that sooner. 😳

Good morning. 🦆🪿🦢
22 May 2026
I had a recurring dream last night. Well, not exactly recurring, but the premise is always the same: I’m still in the Army, and I’ve already turned in my field gear in preparation for a PCS. “Permanent” change of station is a funny term, since nothing in the Army is ever permanent, but we all know it means you’re headed to another unit, usually halfway around the world.
In the dream, my gear is turned in, but for some reason I’m stuck — unable to leave, caught in a strange limbo. The details shift, the people around me change, but I’m always waiting for transportation that never quite arrives. Movement is paused for reasons no one can explain. So I carry on with only the odd bits of gear I bought myself over the years. Strange, isn’t it?
There’s a bit of trivia I’ve picked up from having served in both the Marine Corps and the Army. In the Marines, we called our field gear 782 gear, named after the form it was issued on: NAVMC Form 782. In the Army, the same basic gear is called TA‑50, after the authorizing publication CTA 50‑500 (CTA meaning Common Table of Allowances).
Two services, two cultures, and two sets of terminology for the same things. Think duffel bag vs. sea bag, hat vs. cover, latrine vs. head — the list goes on.
On a different note, teachers pour their own money into classrooms because budgets rarely cover what students truly need. They buy supplies, books, and basics so learning doesn’t suffer — a quiet burden they shoulder simply because they care. I mentioned helping my granddaughter’s kindergarten class in my last morning post. I’ll share her classroom registry again during one more two‑day cycle in case anyone wants to help equip her room.

Good morning. 🍂🍂🍂
20 May 2026
Charlie apparently had an accident last night — I didn’t witness the crime scene myself, but my wife delivered the morning briefing as soon as I woke up. She handled the cleanup, which is unusual, because I’m normally the designated disaster response unit around here.
I told Charlie to get in his bed and informed him he was a “bad boy,” all while handing him his morning dental treat like some kind of confused, soft‑hearted warden. He stayed in his bed for about three seconds before returning to his regularly scheduled programming of doing whatever he wants.
I didn’t accomplish much yesterday. Traveling wears me out more than it used to, even though we spent a good portion of the trip languishing in hotel rooms like two retirees waiting for the early‑bird special.
I did manage to order supplies for my granddaughter’s kindergarten class, which she starts teaching on July 1. It’s her first paid teaching job — last year she was a student teacher, which is basically the same thing except with more stress and less money.
She made an Amazon gift registry to help equip her classroom. I’m not the only one contributing, but I’ll admit I got a little carried away. Honestly, the registry idea is genius. I don’t know if they teach that in college now, but they should — “Classroom Survival 101: How to Crowdsource Crayons During Budget Cuts.”
Most of the items have already been ordered, but a few things are still up for grabs. My calculus — and this is the only calculus I’m willing to do these days — is that I’m not just helping her get started. I’m helping 18–20 tiny humans begin their academic careers. It’s a small gesture, but meaningful. A win‑win.
If anyone out there wants to join the cause, here’s the registry link:

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
When I see someone who looks fairly desperate, I would rather give money, on the chance of sometimes giving unwisely, than to withhold it from some one person who might need a helping hand and who deserves it.

Hildersham—Puritan, expounding Psalm 51—identifies reluctance to give to the poor as a faith problem. If you genuinely believed God’s promises, giving would present no difficulty. Preachers regularly deploy “if you truly believed, you would” for tithing and attendance. Curiously rarely for the poor. Hildersham would have found that selective.
