I haven't seen him for twelve hours, but who's counting Well, I must confess that would be me He has vanished, and I haven't a clue where he may be... He knew I wouldn't hurt a fly, not through words but vibration I miss him landing on my hand and his presence on the screen We had some meaningful conversations, but not with words He never judged me, and I never judged him Because I knew that we were only separate entities by thought He has been a wise teacher, I hope I've imbued what he taught... Firstly, he taught me the gift of non-aversion Not to flinch when he unexpectedly landed on my hand And when he followed me to bed to not react to his buzzing Not a distant buzzing, but very close to my ear He revealed my deep loneliness & yet also quelled my fear... Now he is teaching me the art of letting go Non-attachment has been a difficult one in this life for me Maybe that's because I've endured so many losses Homes, partners, berefments, self-esteem & loss of health-- To name a few, for like many, the list can be vast Beloved, pray, please, reveal The Great Mystery Divine Love can never be lost & therefore is the greatest wealth... Postscript: His greatest lesson was Not 'me' and a fly but ~ I & I

He's Gone (I wouldn't hurt a fly pt 2)
I haven't seen him for twelve hours, but who's counting Well, I must confess that would be me He has vanished, and I haven't a clue where he may be... He knew I wouldn't hurt a fly, not through words but vibration I miss him landing on my hand and his presence on the screen We had some meaningful conversations, but not with words He never judged me, and I never judged him Because I knew that we were only separate entities by thought He has been a wise teacher, I hope I've imbued what he taught... Firstly, he taught me the gift of non-aversion Not to flinch when he unexpectedly landed on my hand And when he followed me to bed to not react to his buzzing Not a distant buzzing, but very close to my ear He revealed my deep loneliness & yet also quelled my fear... Now he is teaching me the art of letting go Non-attachment has been a difficult one in this life for me Maybe that's because I've endured so many losses Homes, partners, berefments, self-esteem & loss of health-- To name a few, for like many, the list can be vast Beloved, pray, please, reveal The Great Mystery Divine Love can never be lost & therefore is the greatest wealth... Postscript: His greatest lesson was Not 'me' and a fly but ~ I & I
It has now been 24 hours I miss my little friend and teacher I feel blessed that he stayed so long I never thought I'd write about a fly But between 'you' and 'me', I've stranger ones in draft I wouldn't hurt a fly, and he knew it! or felt it
