We burn intensely for our brief time, as though the atmosphere of living is too intense for these transitional vessels we call our bodies. Parents and other relatives, friends and neighbours, strangers whom we have never met, all pass in one fleeting moment, leaving only an afterimage, a cosmic afterglow, on the retina of our lives. To endow it with meaning we create gods, and interpret dreams. We sing songs, and create stories. Some meditate, yet others despair finding anguish, not solace, within. Yet we continue to dream and create: to medicate and contemplate. We dance our wild dance, living in this moment, this magic, tragic and fleeting flash that is our sum total. And when it is our time to burn across that starry sky, our afterimage will long be felt, not for the brilliance of our passing, but for its absence in a darkened sky. From "Quantum Shift" series Sutra 15: One’s Dharma may be obscured by believing in Its exclusivity. |

Thank you, Yann. Go well. Sutra 25: Remember that a pile of ordure is simply that: Seek not to give it meaning. |
