THOUGHTS ON DESIRE
Desire keeps me from my Beloved.
Form can never contain the Infinite.
The world of form is a world of suffering.
Such invisible and light wishes
are those of the heart, but heavy
enough to draw us back to the world
of rebirth.
Act weightlessly.. act without creating
karmic obligation seeds which can cause
rebirth.
With such a tiny flick did he separate
the magnet from the metal and remove
the attraction.
LUST
As a young woman she was chaste
because she thought it made her
more desirable. It was simply
a more subtle form of lust.
FOUR CHIMNEYS
Four chimneys in that hearthhome..
one for Santa Claus
.. one with a fire always burning..
one.. by an altar..
and one undisturbed so as not
to bother the nesting stork.

Thomas Marshall)
