Desire is an urge to explore,
to experience more deeply.
Some desires are best followed.
Some are best left undone.
Knowing the difference
is the work of wisdom.

About me
- HK Stewart
- I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Repulsion is vertiginous nausea
Both intellectual and physical
Plummeting from a great height
Down to unimaginable depths
Asphyxiated by compression
Or torpedoes from submarines
Spun about in this whirlpool only
Later passion becomes compassion

Tag Two
There is no wisdom
Without caution.
There is no caution
Without calculation.
In passion, one plus one
Lets nobody take sides.
Calculation arises from
Cold-blooded cruelty.
Cruelty is the flip
Side of love.
All too often, wisdom’s little more than
Monday-Morning Quarterbacking.

Tag Three
Abstractions are like
Quicksand
People think they know
What they mean
Connect the dots to find
The Pleiades
What stories they tell
Mariners at sea
On solid ground
Lightning strikes
[Disposable Poem July 2, 2010]
