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.

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...
I died that already.
Be an athlete...
I died that already.
Be a tutor/professor/educator...
I died that already.
Be an operations manager...
I died that already.
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...

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.

Zen Master
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...

To Zen and back
I came back to tell you
life is much easier without words,
without the impulse to turn everything into language,
limiting what things can be
and what you can feel.

The absolute value of material wealth
Your accumulated wealth
is the greatest sign of your karma...
the karma that got you that wealth,
and the karma you get to distribute through others.

The Past Imperfect, 2
What you were doing does not have to be who you are.
The past Imperfect is how you were acting,
but that karma does not have to endure.
Changing ourselves is harder than a diamond,
which is what you become when you accept
that all pasts are imperfect.
The aim of this change is the present perfect,
which we might never achieve,
but through our wholesome transitions,
we can learn to alleviate avoidable suffering
for others and ourselves.
