Out of tune. “Love is an interesting idea,” Govinda noted, “but it’s one that can imprison some minds rather than free them. Like fire, it depends on the mind using it to see how it will ultimately be used.” – A Heart Blown Open: The Life & Practice of Zen Master Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi
Drop all desire
Existence starts to flow
My body, my spirit go
Truth of spontaneity
Shows all amazing
Experiences
Caught by one
That transcended
But ego grabbed it
Now falling
Back into samsara
Losing the tune
Lost connection to the source
A fog clouds purity
Mirror becomes dusty
Why is this
Is how I am now
Grasping for it again
Diving through the blackness
Swimming through fog
A memory…only memory….
Come up for breath
Start to dance again
And I forget all but this
The sun comes out
Brilliant, shining
Away go the clouds
Mirror reflects again
Connection to the ultimate
Is again vibrating
Retrospection shows me
How to fall
And rise again
