Primordal Heart Sutra No. 1
Walked
down Houston street,
past tall boys with severe haircuts and dye-jobs,
past the stranded tourists like starfish,
past the cafe,
and the latte-drinkers
(aegis of similitude)
to this fine spot
here by the fountain
where there is shade and coolness,
and overhead
the sky is not cloudy all day...
this then is where I sit,
desolation angel,
and observe the "I-I"
scribbling these notes on a scrap of grey-lined
paper;
"it" observes the world
'roundabout it, and sips
strong coffee in the mid-day sun...
Non-identified,
a fleeting moment in a series
(of fleeting moments)
passing into primordial
oblivion
like a slow mot
That Which Is,
Is Christ.
That Which Is,
Is Buddha.
That Which Is,
Radiant Being.
That Which Is,
Beyond Mind.
The Truth and the Way are
inseparable;
Where then are the Ten-Thousand
Things?
Heart to Heart,
The truth is manifested.
Heart to Heart,
We are One.
That Which Is,
Remains undying.
That Which Is,
This very moment.

Primordal Heart Sutra No. 2
Heart mantra
Alive in this moment
Lotus petals brush across my lips.
Envelope me in your fragrance...
Om mani padme hum...
(An ancient prayer; jewel in the Lotus).
Two lovers
Hearts and minds as One
Touching (as if)
for the very first time...
You kiss me like raindrops;
You caress me like clouds.
You kiss me.
You kiss me like rain.
Heart mantra
Primordial
One.

Om Guru Om
Surrendering today to the sacred Flow
I am at once a single entity
in a larger whole.
My nothingness merges
with the Totality of the Universe

My head's in an altogether better place today; AND they are predicting a chance of snow for Christmas!! Now that would be DIFFERENT for these parts... otherwise, still trying to get around to figuring out what i'm doing with this space... if nothing else, it is creating the desire in me to write some new prose...
Did not make it out to the Liberty Bar tonight, not over to James'.Talked to Dan on the phone and that was bad enough... now I'm in trouble. Why do I have to feel chastised to talk to (or want to meet up with) my friends? Am I 14? Why am I made to feel guilty for wanting a life outside my home??
Sucks.
