Tidbits

Too short to be their own poem

A puddle reflecting the sky
                                                        9/30/24

Wisdom comes and goes, like clouds crossing the sun.     
                                                       10/11/24

Retreat thought: 

Come back Enlightened 
Or die trying
                                                        12/16/24

The weird thing about enlightenment is (if you can get the mind to slightly loosen its death grip) a brief taste is worth a lifetime of work. 
How strange.
                                                       11/16/24

We are all dying 
In an orgasm of
Buddha-light
                                                       12/24/24

Today I am awash in pervasive suffering. 
My mind is pounding on my world like a blacksmith with a heavy hammer.
                                                        11/25/24

It's worthwhile repeating
Like a lost lamb who's bleating
Get out of the way
Get out of the way
I'm just trying to get out of the way
                                                         1/3/25

Is some being, some force, not of this Earth, striving to Awaken and Enlighten you? 
If so, why not get out of the way and let them do their work?
                                                        1/22/25

The door to Enlightenment is locked. If you want to pass through you'll have to shrink down enough to pass through the keyhole or one of the cracks. 

Maybe the key is lying around somewhere. Or maybe it's lost. Good luck finding it.
                                                        2/11/25

Subdue the mind 
Subdue the mind
Subdue the mind 
So many years 
So much practice
Subdue the mind 
Subdue the mind
Subdue the mind   
                                                       6/3/25

Bouncing down a dirt road toward my death. 
(At least I'm not on a freeway.) 
                                                       3/17/25
