come together
we are human
man inside a woman
woman inside a man
a tao child
landscape of gardens
thin slice of the pie
samadhi inoculated
.
lint on gods sleeve
dust to dust
immortal vagabonds
luminous beings
red coat in a burning forest
a sky of palms
.
on a wide plank
on a great altar
on a cosmic tabernacle of christ and buddhas
like rain like fire or a bell from afar
.
we are human
fireflies in the desert nite air
or a ring of bone zendo
the inner satsang of life
gods torch
ablaze
.
in true contemplation
in righteous indignation
we enter the temple of infinity/]\
dust to dust
some diamond rough
a confluence
ablaze asunder a bright fire a torch of flames
in the satsang of life
in the womb of time
reigning a voice in a sea trees and storms
we are human
god fireflies like moths to light
.

The best advice ever, beautifully written, by Fred LaMotte:
‘Smart’ people believe in their thoughts, especially the thought of ‘me.’ How can a thought discriminate between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ ideas? Only the silence beyond ideas, who watches without thought, can discriminate.
Don’t be so smart. Be a little stupid. Watch thoughts come and go without grasping them. Even the thought of ‘me.’ Rest beyond mind as self-radiant emptiness.
You are not an idea, ceaselessly arguing with other ideas. You are sparkling omnipresent free space, where all ideas arise and dissolve without conflict.
The way to peace is awakening the Witness.
Oh Infinite Intelligence, I ask not for more blessings,
but more wisdom with which to make better use of
the greatest of all blessings with which I was endowed
at birth – the right to embrace and direct to ends of my
own choice the powers of my mind.
