I didn't think I had any style, only intense personal experiences reported the best i could. Your words are sweet. Thanks. - - - Between the extremes Of being and nothingness An objective state of observation Obviates human stress Without necessitating The oppression or repression Of our mortal, carnal Instincts. Where the physical and the emotional Are distinct from the mental. The mind controls matter And more As the impermanence of everything around us Impinges upon Our unconscious Training it To embrace change As a constant force in life. Where bottled up Longings and fears Manifest themselves as physical pain And once done, the purified body Like an uncoiled spring And light as a feather Is sensitive as a Newborn’s skin. Where the words you, I, me and mine Lose their meaning Thoughts cease to exist The bodies are simple hosts for A higher, disciplined mind And reality appears Stark. Where mind matters most And the laws of nature Make themselves felt Within the framework of Our bodies. Here, in this state Of being and nothingness A perfectly equanimous observational attitude flings open the floodgates of experiential wisdom.
