I read of masters
And believe nothing they say.
That's not arrogant!   |

Admonition
You cannot hear me.
You do not have ears for me.
You are not worthy. |

Vasanas
Dear Saraswati,
I prayed for your purity,
And these words came forth.
Beggars
Do not come begging.
We cannot meet your demands.
They make us feel sick.
Hermitage
I live in a tent.
Freedom is my divine right!
It is "quiet" here.
Streams
More tears, not of joy.
None are willing to help me.
Don't you love me, Lord?
Swine
Pigs cleaner than I.
Have we not suffered enough?
More pain: Thank you, Lord!
Mind
What's my sanity?
He may take it when He will.
I will not object.
War Story
A boy's flesh was burnt.
He whimpered in lieu of screams.
Mercy shown to him.

Take all that I am
And fill the hollow shell with
Radiant being. |

Sergent Mommy
Yeah, I'm not asking
You to donate a kidney.
Just clean your room, please. |

Teenagers
My teenagers stuff
Their pockets with food as they
Head out the door. Bye!
It's too difficult
To wake up in time to eat
A decent breakfast. |

The old pond
A frog jumps in
Plop |

My cat thinks I'm her
human and this is her house.
Who is deluded?
Everything a gift
Given without condition
Yet I still struggle. |

If I could
Breathe these words
Like magic dust. |

The Gray Cat
I'm in the bathroom.
The cat stands guard by the door.
Every. Single. Time.
I can do this one
By myself. Honest! I swear!
I will not fall in.
She basks in the sun
On the window ledge, jumps down,
And greets the children.

In my core story,
I need appreciation.
Doesn't satisfy.
One of the stories that has been a source of suffering for me is that I need to be appreciated (by others) in order to be happy. Truth is, even when others are openly appreciative of me, it doesn't make me happy. Not for long anyway. This understanding brought me to the inquiry "I need to appreciate myself." Truth is, that doesn't satiate either. This understanding has helped me to realize that happiness (for me) exists when action is spontaneous, agenda-less and free from any need for retribution.
Love,
Carson  |

To give with no expectation of return
To receive with no attachment to what's offered
To bask in the eternal flow of back-and-forth |

I beg them to stop,
But they do it anyway.
I scream without sound.
If I freeze, silent,
They may forget that I'm here
And leave me alone.

No running, hiding.
Time for all of this to bask
In the bright sunlight. |

Sutra on a string
Release and it floats away
Samyama thrills! |

Floating in the deep,
wait, can I have a witness
mindful of the mind?

Somni Circuitus
Rise and tear the root.
Play my lute, sing of lies, then
Fall and bury skies.

Heart
We’ve shared, Joy—anew!
“You’re my friends, and I love you.”
Likewise, yeah, warm—true.
