Bardo Blues and Southwest Hues...


an excerpt from today's Direct Lines...


i look out over the sage where once a sea had winked at me...
sage as dry as the parchment it is becoming...
as
old and withered
as i feel at times,
times like today
when i see this place where once water flowed,
now only
heat and wind and miniscule life...

"A man who does not learn from life,
grows old like an ox: his body grows
but not his wisdom."
- Dhammapada, 152

now i come to this sacred place
and perform Bardo Meditations...
in the heat and wind
in the heat and wind
the Southwest has fueled my zest for living in utterly unquenchable ways,
today, however...
