as time goes by
if you learn anything
you empty your pockets
bit by bit along the way
of everything you thought
you had to have until finally
there is nothing left
but a handful of dirt and lint
all there ever really was
to your story from the beginning
it is only then that you have
something to offer to the world

I have a lot to offer to the world, as soon as I shake
the dirt and lint from me pockets. Good one. -gene.
the empty mind is the full mind
is part of Zen, all trappings shed
only then a purity
understanding of essentials
and the desire to share, not hold.
