The students gather around the
Zen master. Worldly events and
Passions do not disturb him.
He raises his hand to
No man, and similarly, is
Never controlled by desire for
A woman. He practices non-
Attachment in all things. He
Is splendid and has achieved
A state of bliss. Or,
He is simply comatose. Who
Can say? This is awkward!

ReplyDeletei'm w shadow...i'm always too stressed! lol but i do love the last part of this 55. great job :) i am up at ramblings and whatnot if u feel inclined.
ReplyDeleteI've never understood that desire, to rise above all emotion and passion, to ignore and turn your back on the physical reality of this place. To not be. We are only incarnate for a short time. I say embrace it.
ReplyDeleteGood question! Is there such a thing as too much peace??
ReplyDeleteI'm going with "comatose" :-)
ReplyDeletexo
Awkward...LOL, that's good, but probably just practicing that non-attachement that we all strive for and fall short of...great 55!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with "get a life, dude"!
ReplyDeleteFinding bliss is what it's all about. Usually. Sometimes. Wait... what does that feel like again? I forget...
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteOhmmmmmmmmmm...
