Human beings become smoke
mountains also and rivers
time becomes smoke
then a wind is whistled up
and all blows away
ah
nonexistence at last

You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.

You are taking a walk beside the river. Look at the water, is it not more beautiful than the sheen of a diamond? Like tomorrow. Like love. Like the slender hands of the angels under starlight. The trees drink your most kind thoughts and are silver in return. They reward your faith with a new name. It is full-on winter and you can feel the cold crispness of a possible heaven with your nose and your ears. You feel a love for what might be a god and you look up at the sky, even though you know that the divine is inside of you, in your own golden heart. In your own diamond soul. A red eared slider slowly eases into the water without a sound.

Life is not the taking possession of anything, but a taking part in everything.
Lama Govinda
My corpse burnt like a city in wartime
my life ended and forgotten
so shall it be
in time

Walking the broken streets I turned stones into flowers. There were roses of many colors. One purple iris I saved for my love. A bouquet of stone with the scent of a million tears! At the end of a long day this scent was everywhere, on your clothes, your hands. On your life.

Awareness itself is the primary currency of the human condition, and as such it deserves to be spent carefully.
