Subject - bus stop

--- Waiting ----

At a bus stop where the buses do not go ....

Being there and waiting and watching -

As the bench and metal and concrete and me

Slowly and microscopically dissolve -

into the swirl of absence.

Vision of loveliness

Hard on the mind, to comprehend what has
been experienced - when felt and lived again
and knowing that - was it really as has been seen
and felt and remembered and I wished - wrongly
received humbly - and it was right !!!!!! You say
for me to believe and then accept - and is so hard.
Always to remain hopefully in that way.

"They can be used for presentation."
The two bowls must have their times;
reducing hardness and increasing
softness must have their times;
reduction and increase,
filling and emptying,
go along with the time.

Fire and Games

---------

Sometimes I must wonder on account of what is the fire and what is

the game??? The thoughts - the feeling and the heat - on any particular

day or moon-lite night. As we watch the fire in the dark nights sky or

in our hearts and in our homes - together or seperately - and then stop

and say --- " what is the game and what is the fire ?? " The fire from

here to there - the fire that just is - and then the light.

----------------

Water and Thunder

Time and space and reaching out and wishing and

hoping and believing and trusting --- trying to

let it all hang out .... The fortunate and the longing

the deceived and deceiver or simple rules - to follow

or obey. And feeling close but a million miles away -

the one feeling that is hard to describe - that you can't

any way --- but you only want to come back ----

From there ..... or simple rules to follow - so you

can find the meanings of the words --- they say --

making love ----- or mixtures ------ is love


-------------------------------------------------

The image: thunder and rain --- solution.
Thus do leaders forgive errors and pardon crimes.

-------------------------------------------------

Gradually

Gradually there is joy ------

it is beneficial to make ceremonial offerings because
one receives blessings.

Exhaustion

When the exhausted mind balances its thoughts, this is actually the way to come
through successfully.

If one does not practice real virtue and
only and only has empty talk, this will surely not be enough to win confidence.

Upright great people are forunate, because their strenght is in balance.
