from BARDO

The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way our umbilicus.

Is it a consolation that the stuff of which we’re made

is star-stuff too?


– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –

dispersal only: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen.


Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.

sky dokusan




today
I take instruction
from the sky
how to be
serene and fearless
non-judgemental
how to let the weathers
come and go
across my
life

    Thank you, Therese! Glad it offered you something. Always worth remembering that our security lies in letting go of our need for it (security), isn't it??
