Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Sitting quietly, as usual waiting for the sun to rise. Feeling the first glow of the silent suchness, my ego was busily engaged in the profound contemplations of doing the laundry, when a bee landed on my nose. "Who are you" I asked? "I am the bane of sages! The guard of the gates of paradise! The mountain too high! The river too wide! I am the countless pains and fears that trap you in this sodden flesh FOREVER!" "Better you should help me figure out my laundry" I said, and gave it the problem. While it flew away screaming, the sun and I watched each other rising in silence.

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 hmmm...., the sodden, the glowing, the fecund, the glorious flesh....we do not enter paradise without the flesh....we sit as flesh in eden and allow our desire for the past to oxidize the eternal present until another piece of flesh carries our mental concepts away on sodden buzzing wings....i want no other paradise than this paradise with its dirty laundry and toilets....and liquid sunshine making my entire sodden universe shine and glisten with liquid golden brilliance.....thank you MM for this wonderful poem to meditate upon.....^^~~~~ further up and further in, white wolfe - Mace Mealer ; Illuminata ; TheWayStation Monday, July 02, 2001 3:02 PM Repellent Sitting quietly, as usual waiting for the sun to rise.
