Ordinary, everyday life
is none other
than infinity
and eternity.
I remembered
my twenty years
of growing up
in agony
and discovered
that it wasn't so bad
and that I actually had
a great time
so now I love
everything and everybody
because all of the pain
is gone.
The thoughts have a tendency
to go down like water
to their low point
and that is when
it is time to refresh the mind
with a little practice
of some kind
like meditation.
After meeting
and eating dinner
with a Tibetan lama
I thought I was saved
but then a bit later
my whole life
collapsed
but it was fun
and I enjoyed
the experience
so I rebuilt my life
by sitting in a chair.
In order to
keep myself awake
and mindful
I am doing the things
that I would ordinarily
do with my right hand
with my left hand
so old habits
are changing
and so does
the mind.
The heat bugs of July
have stopped their
music of white noise
for a moment
as the humming
of the computer
reminds this man
sitting here
to listen.
With morning coffee
in hand
I feel depressed
so I ask the Buddha inside
to make me happy
and so
he does!
