Poet Introduction
I experiment with and without form. I try to let the idea write itself.

Blame the prey
You can tell the sheep
to look less delicious,
but that won't prevent the wolves
from getting hungry.

Smart-throb
I crush on the smart ones,
who show ease because of effort,
who laugh through the math and thestory
because they get the joke.

Leaving Dharmaland
I had asked for guidance. I invited every and any sentient being to offer guidance, but I was alone in the cave within the mountain. Every way to interpret this situation said that the answer was in me and only in me. I do not know what I can do for anyone, but, if it is anything at all, I feel I can do more of it somewhere else, somewhere more directly serving those who are suffering.
I was about to leave the Buddha Hall after the last prayer for the night, when I was struck with the sense that I was going to have a dream that night. I used to dream regularly, but, since I have...

Water
Water is the fluid that moves everything in our bodies, including our neural pathways.
(Well, for neural pathways, it is more like the medium for electricity, but still drink water for thought and movement.)

Money and sex
Take them away from the psychopath class,
the class that takes excessively and calls trickling back to the workers the unfair part. The people who infiltrated our corporations, government, media entertainment outlets, nonprofits and school boards.
Give them no more money, as little as you absolutely can, and
give them no more sex, none at all.
Money gives them the means, but sex enables and empowers their behaviors.
I know the pickens are slim, but fuck more the conscientious free-thinkers. Fuck more their brains into responsible social action, because,...

Conditioned Existences of Realized Beings
Buddha was the teacher;
Jesus, the martyr.
The difference: The amount of effort their societies put into killing them.

The things we need to do
These are the things we need to do in America:
Stop working for and buying from evil- this will take what some might call sacrifice, but we might call responsibility. Affecting bank accounts and profits is the only way to change some minds.
Start working for, buying from, and otherwise contributing to your community in as many ways as you can: volunteer, donate, bake and give locally and directly. Remove government, beaurocrocy and waste from what you give to and take from others.
Violence might help the process, but cannot stabilize us afterwards.

The antifederalist papers
Now,
more than ever,
we need local Soulutions
to overcome our national problems.
