back and forth
a little more

and power
from the north
when and with
my feet are in the earth
my head in the clouds
my heart in the sea
and my mind
my spirit
and being
are all filled

Temporary Delay
I went to build a cairn
but could not get to where I know the rocks are.
Usually, a mandala is constructed
before we act like it never existed.

Helpless
My brain, in the middle of the night
while I'm sleeping,
is trying to figure out,
without my knowabouts,
how to get out of my skull.
I can't get it out of my head
now that I have absolutely no way
to communicate with my brain,
to tell it to calm down.
Fascinating. The mind.
The darkness
within the darkness.
The murmed brain that expels the thought.

Weight Loss
Since we don't own anything anyway,
Can't take it with us when we die
Or just go anywhere outside the home,
Sell or give to charity or someone who will use it
Everything that you
do not need
do not use
do not want
that does not bring you joy,
and you will suddenly feel
Lighter,
Lightly,
More like light.

I died that already
Be a good student...

Be an athlete...

Be a tutor/professor/educator...

Be an operations manager...

When I chose there was nothing to be,
I achieved immortality.

The farthest back I can remember, there were already forms…forms, faces, locations. I remember seeing them and watching them like I was a viewer with no body of my own. It all felt familiar but mostly random. The people and the places didn’t seem to match and would often switch without reason. I remember feeling very strong connections to many of the images I saw, but I cannot refine a memory to a particular emotional reaction to a particular scenario.
I have no way to measure how long things went on like that, but, eventually, the forms and faces and...

Spiritual Reciprocity
there is no drift in him
he moves with unwavering purpose
strong and determined steps
focused
confident in his stride
solid in his bearing
certain of where he's going
it is not in him to sit idle
he's a man of action
willing to reach with passion
for what attracts him
recognizing the beauty and balance
of femininity
he guards with all his heart
the strength of their fragility
he does this not because she is weak
but because she is important
a time worn warrior
full of honor and...

Anything Is Attemptable
Right now,
Tao
are all confused at us.
Tao provide the openness to try anything
and see what we repeatedly choose to do to ourselves.

The lessonless teacher has
nothing
to teach,
but only encourages there is
nothing
to reach.

nihilism, pessimism and buddhism
The nihilists are correct,
the universe is too big to care about you, individually,
and might become an anaconda that will eat you and your entire family,
or a world-killer meteor that could destroy the whole of the earth and all of its gods.
The pessimists are correct,
society is a cycle of less and more harsh oppression,
and authority will use any reason, reasoning, non-reasoning and sophistry to maintain itself.
However, after all this,
we are here anyway,
so working together to alleviate suffering and promote joy is...
