Everything's one taste, one kiss…

Everything's one taste, one kiss…

💋

Ah
I've been looking outside myself 
For things I can only find inside
Oh I'm not afraid to say 
Much of my life has been lost years 
Living in cage 
Tying to hide
I was trying to survive
It was the only way I knew
I know I wasn't always honest
Know I wasn't true 
I paid that price long ago
And now I'm an honorable soldier
On the path of the bodhisattva
I'm the leader of a tribe
I'm your king 
I'm your prince
I'm your general
Your father brother
Sister, mother, lover
But we're lovers 
In pure space of appearances
Empty potentiality
Where there's no proof, nothing profane
All sentient beings in union 
One taste, one kiss
Dance union bliss vast openness
Appearances are arising 
They're empty, 
Yet they appear
One taste, one kiss
Awakened ones of all times laugh
Laughing with joy equanimity
We abide at rest 
Oh, one taste oh, one kiss 
One kiss everything in all 
All sentient beings kissed in spaciousness 
I know this kiss true
In tasting you, I taste all
One taste, one kiss
I'm not wrong
Pith critical point 
I will not miss 
Will not be lost in the mist 
Will not be lost in foggy ignorance
Will not be lost times illusion 
I'm going to be calling you on strong
Oh my precious inspiration, I love you
Oh my precious obstacle dispelling muse
Refuge within your strength, glory 
You're tough. You're hard
You're soft, you're gentle 
You penetrate all
You're honest with me 
Even if I'm covered in blisters, 
Scattered by broken commitments
Covered with hives
Negative deeds of past lives
Dead dust in the gutter 
Before you Muse on my knees
My illusory self shattered
Scattered ignorance
My house of delusion burned down
I'll stand up wiping off the dust of time
And I'll be right there again
Serving you loyally at your side
I don't ask anything of my Muse
May I be your general
Waging a crusade against suffering
May I be the Great Shepherd
Gathering the lost sheep
May I be the ship captain
Bringing those poor in spirit home
May I always know within
All is one taste, one kiss
I taste of emptinesses fullness
I kiss the cracking of appearances
At dawn
I rise with the sun
Generating my way through day
I dissolve into timelessness
Within the setting sun
I abide darkness of night
Stillnesses light
Arising, rising
Illuminating
Awakening
Liberating
One taste
One kiss
Ah Ah Ah
Svaha

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

I'm Finally Free…. 🕊️ I've scattered What did it even matter Looking back now Don't understand How I went down Your highway So fast It was crystal clear It couldn't last Now I'm out back In the shadows With the creepy crawlers Slytherin in the bayou's  Before the sun It shone so bright Now there's only darkness Tell me where is the light At least I can see You're a dead end for me Apart from you at last Thru my suffering I'm finally free 🕊️ David Arndt January 29th, 2023 🕊️ January 31st, 2023 🕊️ Artwork - The Bride and the Wind by Oskar Kokoschka
