let everything go
hopes and fears
what are they?
nothing!

let everything go
wishing, dreaming
what are they?
nothing!

let everything go
higher self, lower self
what are they?
nothing!

let everything go
existance, non-existance
what are they?
nothing!

let everything go
suffering, bliss
what are they?
nothing!

truly truly
there will come a moment
when even the idea of you
as a separate being
simply drops away


love and laughter eternally - michael


GLORIA LEE


In light of Jerry's recent posting on schizophrenia, a new movie will be out
soon about it.
... one review said that the mind itself was a character in the movie.

A biopic of the meteoric rise of John Forbes Nash Jr., a math prodigy able to
solve problems that baffled the greatest of minds. And how he overcame years of
suffering through schizophrenia to win the Nobel Prize.

from Hafiz list



IT HAS NOT RAINED LIGHT

It has not rained light for many days.
The wells in most eyes look
Drought-stricken.

Thus friends are not easy to find
In this barren
Place

Where most everyone has become ill
From guarding
Nothing.

On this primal caravan
Careers and cities can appear real in this
Intense
Desert heat,

But I say to my close ones,

"Don’t get lost in them,
It has not rained light there for days.

Look, almost everyone is diseased
From ‘making love’ to
Nothing.”



(“The Gift” – versions of Hafiz by Daniel Ladinsky)
