"tiger never sleeps"

[Guest guest]

Dan, I love this!

 

<<tiger never sleeps -

bird never lands -

human being has nothing to understand>>

 

Reminds me of how I've taken poems

that I related to from one continuum

of being and rewrote them to fit a

new continuum reflecting my "letting

go" of the aspects the original poem

expressed; aspects I no longer wanted

or needed in the new domain I was

embracing.

 

For instance, this poem by Rilke:

 

It is possible that I am pushing through solid rock (I am being carried

though the secret river)

in flint like layers as the ore lies, alone. (in

undulating waves as the river flows, alone, yet joined)

I am such a long way in, I see no way through (I have traveled so

far, I have forgotten my way)

and no space; (only

space)

everything is close to my face, (everything

close to my face reflects God)

and everything close to my face is stone. (and everything

close to my face is soft moss)

I don't have much knowledge yet in grief, (I have such great

knowledge in grief)

so this darkness makes me feel small. (that there is

always light emerging from the dark)

You be the master, make yourself fierce; (I am the master,

ruthlessly loving self as God)

break in and then Your great transforming will (break out and the

great transforming will)

happen to me and my great grief cry (happen to others

and my great love song

will happen to You." (will

happen to me)

> > All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Nowhere is Now Here. All

paths, places, and sights and perceptions exist only in the Space of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Here. You are not "in" the now. You

Are the Now! Here is Home. Home is where True Rest Is. Home is where the Heart

Is. It is the Seer resting in the Seer, the Self-Nature, the Buddha Nature, or

call it what you will. The Radical Truth is Radiance of Awareness. It is both

the path, process, and the goal. It is Finality of Being without any support. It

is Total Independence and Ever Present. The Truth of the Self needs no

psychological or spiritual crutches. It needs no philosophy, no religion, no

explanation, no teaching, and no teacher, and yet It is always their support. A

true devotee relishes in the Truth. The Truth of Self-Knowledge which is Pure

Intelligence. Welcome all to a.
