loss is real                       I cannot hide from its harrowing harangue                  fear is real                   failure is not a frivolous feat but an unfortunate profundity                    I know these things from my experience of them, and yet my knowledge of them suggests a medium more ethereal than real; and yet the attachments to these trivial things; these disdended details of the day to day; these life altering trivialities can, with the encouragement of our will, seemingly subjugate our lives as a mouse on a throne of lions.

  1. A lot of deep wisdom throughout this post. I experience life as a dance where we, with minds full of the ideas of free-will and karma, accompanied by feelings like desire, horror, excitement, rage, horniness, stand in awe of the horrible beauty of law unfolding. A lot of ego-mind crushing in the post…I love it.
