Giants of Dharma

As I walk through the pain and devastation of Samsara
I see giants around me. 
Giants of Dharma
With infinite possibility

They are like noble elephants
Who, driven by elephant thirst
Wade into dried-up pools
And become trapped in the mud.

Heaving and exhausted,
If only they could rise, caked in mud, 
And walk back into the forest. 
Then they could shake the Earth. 

You 
Are 
One of those muddy 
Giants

Practice, practice, practice…

Until your ego is the size of a grain of sand
Until the wind blows through your bones
Until the ridiculous caricature which is you, is long forgotten 

And stand up
