trying to be empy

 as i rode i felt you in the wind

as i worked i remembered

i could smell you, feel your ghost

my heart ached

i am trying to be empty

but how when i was once 
so full

“Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.”

Chung Tzu

“If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?”

 “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.”
 

  “And still, after all this time, the Sun has never said to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look what happens with love like that.
It lights up the sky.” 

 “Put your thoughts to sleep,
do not let them cast a shadow
over the moon of your heart.
Let go of thinking.” 

 “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” 

 “Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being.” 

“let's get away from
all the clever humans
who put words in our mouth
let's only say what our hearts desire.”  

the flow never ceases

reconfiguring

the flow of this earth river 

continues

and so must i.

let go and flow...

i must accept that downstream

i cannot see

but i'll arrive there just the same.

 grasping the banks

for moments
allows me to see where i've come

where i am

but it is the letting go

i seek
