Narcissus is the pig who sleeps in my navel. <<<Narcissus is the pig who sleeps in my navel. He rests in my own form, and in narcotic sleep perceives his awful blondness in my heart. The beauty he only thinks in me is a complication of his own intestinal odor. But I am a lion above the mind. My very form will not receive me. If I move through the island of my flesh, the pig will shit his life out through the snout, and then I'll take him in to me again. When I come there is no memory of this. There never was the beginning. Only my Righteousness is again and again. My Righteousness is the Escape of God.>>> and: No one like me has appeared in this place <<<No one like me has appeared in this place before. Am I only to live and die, and thus to feed the earth? Should I only live and die, and thus create the mystery of a holy ground? Will generations pass this place of my dilemmas, feel the movements under foot and never know the reasons and the meaning of the currents of bliss that fill them? Will the earth itself perform my only shout? Will the rot of my few bodies be my only song? Will no one understand? Will all of this, even the holy ground, fall unknown into the sea, without a parcel of my living left to heal the feet of pilgrims? No one else can suffer the mysteries of my birth or death. And only my own children can build a temple where I rise and fall.>>> (2 of many from the book "Crazy Da Must Sing" by Adi Da Samraj) Namaste! Jim

That is very fine. Rilke is really unrivaled in so many ways, isn't he. I'll look for it. Do you read German? If so I really enjoy Brecht's Legende von der Entstehung des Buches Taoteking auf dem Weg des Laotse in die Emigration. It's a story form of how Laotse came to put Taoteking to paper. It must be in English, but I only have it in German in a book called Nueu deutsche Erzaehlgedichte. I can give it to you in German, or work on a translation of it for you myself if interested. It's not Rilke but very enjoyable.
