On Being Awake
When am I fully awake?
Is it when I'm fully aware
of what I'm doing in a given moment?
Or is it when I'm fully lost
in what I'm doing in a given moment?

None
None of the pictures of God
I carry around in my head
are really pictures of God.
None of the images of Tao
that I think are true
are anywhere near the truth.
As intimate as my face.
As near as my hand.
Why can I not see this?

Extinction
The gate closes.
The latch turns.
What was loose
on the land
is now gone.
Locked away
for another eternity.

What I See
I see what
I expect to see.
When I don't know
what I expect to see,
I see what I think I see.
When I don't know
what I think I see,
I see without prejudice.

Six Tasks
Grow still.
Bend down.
Discover patience.
Accept imperfection.
Listen with both eyes.
Say thank you.

Wall Reality
A wall stands
between us.
My bowl is full.
Your bowl is empty.
You're hungry.
I want to share.
How real
is the wall now?
