There is no trying:
Either you are a Buddha
or you are not One.
Once past duality
there is no more “in training”;
linear time ends,
and everything is
connected as Everything.
There is nothing else.
Just you and the breath,
this moment right here and now:
being Bodhisattva.

Leave a CommentFumbling to ecstacy
One nerve cell at a time
Approaching some nirvana
Piecemeal, by the inch, sublime
At the end of fingertips
Extended like a drawl
Until the whole skin breathes in
each moment’s alcohol
From the toes along the chakras
glowing honeyed fire
as the entire body vibrates
with divine desire
Waiting, the anticipation
as the space grows close,
is almost as good as getting —
well, not quite almost.
