The Banana Grove Grew Minnows

[Guest guest]

"We are like

minnows in the bloodstream of

This Beloved -

drawn by some mysterious impulse towards

Obliteration in the Heart."

 

~Ixnay

 

Breaking off a branch of No,

everything broke into Blossoms of

Yes.

Yes to No and No to Yes.

Is she illiterate, or what?

No. She's just an Obliterate.

Who could ever have guessed

You are the Only Guest in This Heart?

The Home of the past,

the present and the future

Is One Long Lodgepole Linked in Stonework

and laid down for the Pathless Path

to be trod upon

by Nobody's feet plodding Nowhere.

Knowing the Body Is the Beloved,

Only That One,

What a Mansion, a Tent,

a Castle, a Hut Is This,

This That we Are Now.

We Are a Harbor

with bobbing Bloodboats

Breaking Free from their ties.

Try to tie That One on!

Everything ties In Now.

 

"It splashes and pools at

our feet, and yet,

and yet -

 

such an intoxicating bouquet!"

 

~Ixnay

 

"Ahhh, I love the smell of napalm

in the morning!"

 

~Francis Ford Coppola - "Apocalypse Now"

 

And seriously, "Try to be serious!"

Trying to be serious is a series of

punctuations and exclamations

of incredibly Beautiful Laughter

from a Zen Master making Banana Rum

soaked in the Body of Nothing.

Breathing beer breath,

You got so near

to being Clear of confusion.

Who was ever confused

Knowing It's All just a Comedy of One?

 

"Now

you seek only welcome

rain in the banana grove."

 

~Ixnay

 

"Yes, we have no bananas.

We have no bananas today."

 

 

LoveAlways,

 

Mazie

 

 

.......

 

 

today, like any day, i feel

deep gratitude toward my teachers.

having found each other in the Heart,

this gratitude can be openly expressed.

seven stone houses were built,

seven hilarious jokes were told,

seven heartbeats filled the body,

and what is left to ask:

"Who?"

 

Huuuuuuuuu......

 

this banana boat sails itself,

this Guest has been given the keys

while we walk on, laughing in a way

that naturally clears any confusion.

 

O look --

the Jasmine, dawn, and

our exquisite nakedness!

 

 

LoveAlways,
