Ten

"The ego is a monkey catapulting through the jungle:
Totally fascinated by the realm of the senses,
it swings from one desire to the next,
one conflict to the next,
one self-centered idea to the next.
If you threaten it, it actually fears for its life.

Let this monkey go.
Let the senses go.
Let desires go.
Let conflicts go.
Let ideas go.
Let the fiction of life and death go.
Just remain in the center, watching.

And then forget that you are there."

I am sure I have less going on right now than I ever have in my life before. I used to fear the lack, filling space with people and things and experiences so I would never falter or want.

Now I am learning to make the space. Maybe someday, at last, I can be the space.
