Karma of past lives

I was sure I would never get lost

in the tangled roads of love,

Now I have been caught

in the karma of past lives.

every face passes by…

cicadas at nightfall–

every face passes by

without speaking a word

timeless experience

in the cessation of craving, we touch that dimension of experience that is timeless;

the playful, unimpeded contingency of things emerging from conditions only to become conditions for something else.

…Known as the ‘womb of awakening’ it is the clearing in the still center of being,

the track on which the centered person moves –

it whispers, “Realize me.”  

But no sooner is it glimpsed then it is gone.*
