I died today in a split second of clarity I let go the binding realities that often held my heart on tight strings pulling me into safely folded spaces.
I died today and Buddha says it was a job well done, but… this lesson will heal the inconsistencies tethering me solidly to doubt
and nothingness comes in waves
and chanting less melodic when the mantra sings
~a little less suffering, please a little less suffering for me.~
did the dhamma forget to whisper the missing truths to me how the end lacks emotional contact and peace is deeper than it ever did seem in waking moments
I was breathing my eyes were blinking my heart kept beating and yet life evaded me
until I died until I died
today I died
to find just how alive I’m destined to be.

Beautiful write.......very wise, powerful, intuitive...
Tangled as my hair, this circle of day and night illusion no longer-- the sound chanted sutras, in the morning bird's soft song.

You feel like you died, but we lived was watching over us maybe ? or it was the burrito's ? It's not the blindfold that blinds you, it's the person that puts it there.
