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. |

Mutes (the venerable cuted one) -- Ah, yes....a wise man told me that we have seven deaths to go through....I cannot even imagine! Enjoyed your words of wisdom and so glad that you're still living! ![]() |
