The Life That is Waiting

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Joseph Campbell

What Am I?

Am I the bulb that carries the light?
Or am I the light of which the bulb is a vehicle?
This body is a vehicle of consciousness
and if you can identify with the consciousness
you can watch this thing go like an old car.

There goes the fender. There goes this.

But it's expectable. You know? And then

gradually the whole thing drops off and

consciousness rejoins consciousness.

It's no longer in this particular environment.

Joseph Campbell

No Maintenance

Entropy requires
no maintenance.

Robert Anton Wilson

No Such Thing

If everything were consciousness, there
could be no such thing as consciousness.

Michael Markham

You're Every Experience

When you're every experience, what
could you become that you aren't already?

Goodbye stillness, lessons, and the path or journey.

When you're experience itself, where are you

going to go where you aren't already?

Judy Cohen

Pause and Reflect

Whenever you find yourself
on the side of the majority,
it's time to pause and reflect.

Mark Twain

Clear and Transparent

When all thoughts
Are exhausted
I slip into the woods
And gather
A pile of shepherd's purse.
Like the little stream
Making its way
Through the mossy crevices
I, too, quitely
Turn clear and transparent.
