The container is red

with bold yellow letters

that say,

"WARNING - FLAMMABLE."

 

I pour the kerosene

over my head

smelling it's powerful smell

as it drips down my body

drenching my clothes

like water

in a shower...

 

I light the match

and become hypnotized

by the flame

dancing

like a ballerina

balancing

on a needle's tip

 

like it were the last one.

>From arm's length

I stare

watching,

 

holding it out

like I'm at some sort of crossroad...

 

But I get scared,

 

and blow it out

like I've always done

 

to my life before...

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.
