Poem Artwork

Throughout my session

Of sitting meditation,

Though I strive hard

To hold in my mind

One single purpose

Of strict adhering to

Straightforwardness,

I cannot help hearing

Lots of side calls and

Voices emergent here

And there, nearby and

Remotely in their tries

To tempt me to turn off

The stone-pave highway

Of the veritable teachings

And take a bypass passage

For speeding-up the progress.

Far too few people have lived the kind of life that experience would tell them there are no short cuts, save those that render body and soul with bruises, cuts and scars that bushwhacking guarantees.

Quite hard to only process one thing when many come into play.

Always,
