In Whatever Enlightened Tradition

Whatever your goodness or sophistication
You will enter as a novice
And be expected to be
Properly humble.

It matters not
The ideology
Or system

All recapitulate
A hierarchy.

A truly revolutionary group
Would be one that would take in greenhorns
As leaders.

Maybe

You don't need to do
absolutely anything
about what others
think
about
you.

Today

There seems to be a logic

When I want to teach my son
And he wants to play
He may be right--

When the cities explode with violence
They may be right
After decades of systematic exclusion
And marginalization

And when hundreds of thousand of gallons
Of oil
Continue spilling into the Gulf of Mexico
Day after day
And no one seems able to find a solution...


We get the leaders we deserve.

The Mother of Culture

All your wars
To save something which is already changing.

All your borders
To protect something ungraspable.

All your ways
Belong to whomever will take them.

All their ways
Are also yours.

There was silence before.

There will be silence after.

All will be forgotten
And be as it was
Again

Ohio is a piano

What is this

Constant buzzing
Like the static of the universe
A tv set in the mind

Changing the channel doesn't help.
Best turn it off.

There's a trick

To overcoming all the delusions of mind--
Envy, self-righteousness, greed, depression, sloth, anger, frustration, etc.

It comes with just a little opening up.
Just a little gap.
A little breath.
A little awareness.

Of the sun perhaps.
An old friend.
A brook babbling beneath a bridge.

Ah yes.
Remember?

Self Control

Who is the "self" that needs control
And what is the "self" that is controling?
How could there be two selves?

I believe psychologists have a word for that (schizophrenia)
But they do not apply it to "self control"
Why not?

An Identity Crisis

is painful
because the brain knows

that the brain has fooled itself
within the illusion
of form.

If you experience a spirituality you cannot express

perhaps that's just as it ought to be
