Wild one

When my dog is off its leash,
I suffer

image

Seen and retrieved,
Calm once again

It breathes
This body
This life

Endless suffering
Endless love

The paradox
That is not a true paradox at all

________________

This life
This source

Magic
Without a visible apparatus

From beyond the senses
Come the senses

From beyond this form
Control this form

Hand outstretched
Like a painting on its easel

Each stroke is it
Each mark is set

Again and again
The painters paint

Tears, laughter, love and joy, anger and sorrow
What could ever be missing

What could ever be True

________________

Dear friends

You showed me the Way

But if you should fall

I will still weep for you

I will still weep for myself

________________

What use is there in life?

What use is there in the deeper knowledge
And secrets of the Ancients

You may know
But you are still an eternal Fool, Abu

________________

This is your life
Use it well
Use it well

  • The apparition! It appears! It appears!

    Sight, sound, smell and touch

    How can you know what is beyond, or that there is a beyond
    When you are all these things yourself

    Bound by consciousness
    Life as consciousness

    Awaken!
    Was the Buddha's only invitation

    To life
    To reality
  • You loved me once
    And I loved you

    Together we strolled through
    This Earth

    These waters
    This land

    But as in all things

    That too had to end

    _______

    Living is life
    And living is also resurrection

    The eternal opportunity to be born again

    And to live life anew!

    You are given this chance

    Why do you not live it

    Why do you not cherish the Love that has been granted
    to you

    For you

    My Beloved One
    My Cherished Cherished being
  • Woodsman, kowtaaia, Bodhimind, shoey, genkaku, a thousand friends and more

    Was it only yesterday I sat at your feet
    Wishing to know the unknowable
    Longing to learn the secrets of the Masters

    Wishing is doing
    And knowing is hard
  • They say it cannot be done

    They say it is not true

    The Buddha's teachings

    How I laugh!
    How I cry

    The beauty of the songbird
    Can never be diminished

    But how funny it is even doubted
    When it works so well
    So truly well

    Don't stop believing
    Don't stop

    Your Heart can take you Home
    Where it has always been

    Awaiting its one true Lord
