What happens to a thought
suppressed?
Does it keep coming back
Like a ghost in a dream?
Or complain like a madman
and then scream?
Does it stink like sweat
and cling like dirt
to your body?
Or perhaps it dissolves
like sugar in coffee.
Or maybe it implodes
quietly.

Chatter
Just when I thought
there wasn't any thought
or thoughts in my head,
It suddenly came to me,
just call it my theory.
Truly, it is living
the way meditators live,
by their own intuition.
Well, I will tell you
it wasn't easy, I admit,
but I had an inkling of it
of what it would be like,
From eating sandwiches
or working at the factories
or drinking hot coffee
at the local cafeteria,
daydreaming now and then,
or worrying about my weblog.
I wouldn't think so much
about young children
and old men and women
except in a certain way
expected by our society.
Rather, I'd let things
be how they are...

Be
Neither happy nor unhappy, neither detached nor attached, neither seeking liberation nor liberated, one is neither something nor nothing.
Not distracted in distraction, in mental stillness not poised, in stupidity not stupid, that blessed one is not even wise in one’s wisdom.
--From the Astavakra Gita.

Be self-reliant
Self-reliance is a broader concept than self-confidence. Self-confidence is really based on self-reliance.

Haikus
lovely, lively flowers,
pretty maids all in a row
spice girls a-crooning.
scissors on the wall,
and who has the longest hair
of all in the mall?
white flower, fragile,
and she really doesn't care
if no one sees her.
blue sky, red and white,
beautiful expensive car
no-parking ticket?

Dream On
Been travelling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down it's golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
It's hard to be out here on my own
So far away, so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
Dream on, dream on
This hotel room's a lonely place
It's a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
And as I fall into
The darkness of the night
You come to rescue me to
Shield me in your light
I feel your touch
The softness of your skin
You hold me close before
The day breaks in
This dream's so true
My heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
So dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
So dream on, dream on
Dream on
--lyrics of Dream on, Uriah Heep
