Journeys End

All my treasure i have discovered in my heart.

Everything I sought outward in life

I come to find unexpected, or sought; here

Truly journeys end is in this return

From what we left, again & again

Thousands of times, and the surprising

Wonder of finding ourselves, home again

No matter, no matter

Where we lie.

Drempt of Rain

Last night i drempt of rain in the night.

I was driving in my car, it was dark

and while not alone, i do not recall my company.

floods were washing out the roads and bridges

debris and water making it more a boating expedition

Arguing with the dealer over the price of a cat

I awoke early in the dark fog, anxious yet knowing

It was time to get up.

After Valentine

All philosophies fail

Subsiding into that from which they arose

Why struggle to change when everything is

not so random quotes

And since I never have enough of pleasure,

Honey on the razor's edge,

How could I have enough of merit,

Fruits of which are happiness and peace

Shantideva,

If temporary pleasure is all you want, you might as well take drugs.

H.H. the Dalai Lama

The happiness that comes from abandoning desire is more intense

than the one that is based on desire.
