everything is forever
and holy
though now it seems finite

ABOVE THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

flying with two Inuks
high above the Arctic circle

we played cards
speaking not saying much

glances and smiles
were all we understood

there's no need to deal in order
that is the order of things here

the role of cards
and of smiled glances

in a place like this

Bhuda1

Bhuda1
Posted by: thesmokytiger.

Buddha was seated alone one day, and later, some men gathered around him. one among them who did not like his teachings and the effect it had on the people got up and started a tirade in very vulgar terms against him. Buddha sat smiling listening to all that calumny, without a single gesture of disapproval. The man got frothy in the mouth through rage, his vocabulary was fast getting exhausted, his tongue began to show signs of overwork, but, Buddha only asked him with a smile, "Brother, have you finished?" The man said, "You have no sense of shame; you do not show any trace of resentment." Then Buddha said "If a kinsman comes to your door from a far distant place, and when you see him, if you so much as say, Hallo, he will enter in, deposit his things in the house, and stay on as your guest; but if you do not notice him, if you ignore his arrival, he will return along the road that brought him and you are rid of him, isn't it? So, too I shall take no notice of this tirade; let it go the way it came". Praise and blame are but twists of verbiage, the magic words in the clever hands of flatterers or traducers. Treat both with a grand indifference; then, your real worth becomes patent.

By not getting excited over the angry words of a critic, one becomes superior to the critic. Otherwise one descends to the same level as the critic. Bear no ill-will towards anyone. That is the golden rule indicated by the Gita. Buddha carried on his mission in this spirit of equanimity and tolerance.

Capital

I.

It intermingles
climbing to lift
our heavy expression

crane

reaching towards latticed
dreams of the fool
hardy and empty relation

the sun shines off of you

crane

triangles and force
comforts for
steel string inception

birds make homes in you

crane

quality reigns
abscond that I am
perception shines

off of you

Untitled

I feel toxic
eating the flesh
of the world
artichoke hearts
oil and manure

no more essence
impressions incessant
problematic triangles
conscription impressive

I feel toxic
chant in expression
forever relation
comfort existent

we of the presence
must rid of the sensation
the reliance on
dots ever crescent

to give of the resin
the sweet song
elation

Dreaming dreams I dreamed I dreamed before
Dreaming Dreams in a rainbow Wasteland
Dream
Beleiving in lies there s no prize
Dream Dream
The end is nigh
black dragon roaming the night sky
dream you re the lord of flies
this is what its like when you die
war
what is it for its for freedom
freedom to die in peace
if you re not with us you re against us
ride the magical bus
Blood
Blood sweat and tear its the same pain
falling rain from the sky
tie up the loose ends of your spirit
and you may live again
Dreaming dreams I dream I dreamed before
Dreaming dreams in a Rainbow Wasteland
