as far as the eye can see

 

marcel duchamp

every minute of every hour of every day you are making the world, just as you are making yourself, and you might as well do it with generosity and kindness and style.

humans 

we have our tools 

our language and rituals 

we have art 

our creations 

we know love 

and yet for all that 

the universe will go on 

long after we are gone 

friend don’t waste your life 

love someone 

sing sometimes 

-jobe 

mind always goes ahead or lags behind. 

remain with the moment.

was I a good man 

did I lift the fruit up to heaven 

like a treasure to be offered 

did i do more good than harm

am i forgiven for that harm i did cause

shall i forgive myself

was i a decent man 

did i connect the earth to the sky 

with the length of my body 

and leave only footprints 

that fade with the rains

did I nourish 

teach 

help 

give

did i learn how to truly receive 

was i a righteous man 

yes 

and at the end i can face myself 

without shame

-jobe

be kind whenever possible. 

it is always possible.

no one to be seen 

and no one to see me 

this valley farmland goes on and on 

peace 

the sun at noon 

crops growing in the warm light 

as far as the eye can see

a perfectly clear state of a mind firmly established in great faith is in no way different from the clarity of the buddhanature in someone who has cast aside all discrimination and achieved self-awakening. the buddhanature itself is buddha.
