on the road through the clouds
is there a short cut
to the summer moon?

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.

Long long ago, my mother’s tender care,
eagerly I think of it.
Held close within my mother’s clothing
there was a different kind of springtime.

The eyes will not see that which breaks the heart
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.*
