Rebirth

We sit and talk of matters
we cannot know to be true.
But, we are fascinating and
we create stories that are more
than real. We have felt the movement
the sweat of two bodies one strong
supple. The other bending cracking.
Who are you? I have felt you made of
the ether, of nothing and everything.
Heard your voice and understood.

Yet still my ego will judge you and I
will be jealous and enlightenment
will not come. This storm will pass
but there will be no peace but the peace
that comes with rebirth and possibility.
The new moon. We rest. How do we
practice the stillness that humility demands?

Listening to Yoga Matrix on Saturday Afternoon

Hey there,

Man with porches that look over
Colorado mountain sunsets
or sunrises, I don't know which.
I got my yoga groove back
so happiness and freedom are mine again.
Regardless of space and time
reality. Got my feet on the ground and my head
is in the practice.
Searching for the wisdom
living within the patterns of movement
body and breath.
Living the opposites that are given to me
by the universe, silent.
The universe, from which I cannot be separated.
Is it vast and uncaring? Am I?
Smiling the smile of non-fear.

My favorite teacher says that it is not important that your teacher thinks he is a guru, it is only important that you think he is a guru.

Infinite Jest





9/13/2008.

RIP David Foster Wallace











You got us all.


A true literary genius
of my life time.

Your words and contribution to arts and letters will be missed.


Nothing is born, nothing dies
Nothing to hold on to, nothing to release.
Samsara is nirvana.
There is nothing to attain.
