When
attentive ritual
becomes
mindless repetition,
enlightening devotion
turns into
debilitating habit.

"When your intelligence has passed out of the dense forest of delusion, you shall become indifferent to all that has been heard and all that is to be heard."

Who is this in my head that
keeps telling me to hurry up?
to get there sooner?
to multi-task and background?
to ignore the beauty around me?
all just to meet an artificial deadline?

Who is that person and how do I tell him to shut up?

from mindless,
to thoughtless,
to thoughtful,
to mindful;
the journey begins with each breath.

Those aspects of human nature that give us the ability
to contemplate the universe and our place in it,
that drive us to work to improve ourselves and the lives of others;

Ambition, courage, ego, and a sense of self;

Are the most formidable obstacles
to our own self-actualization and enlightenment.

there's a cabin out there;
warm fire, soft bed.

Zen, Ch'an, Chi, Kri.
if i recognized and embraced my own,
how different would i be?

i walk past it every day
the crack in the pavement
a doorway to another world

'round and 'round
the circle of life
always keeps me from getting ahead

there
between two armies
within one family
the world and beyond
