Immanuel
is a work of fiction
I wish him no harm
but he does not cohere
memory is the glue
that binds the disparate chapters
and when that fades
what remains?
so enlivening
not to tightly grip
the imaginary steering wheel
that weaves the ghostly person
between dangers and failures
on the road to elusive completion
That which animates and knows
does not have a location
but makes location possible
it is not in my body or in my mind
but the experience of my body and mind
appear and disappear in It
it does not have duration
it precedes all beginnings and outlasts all endings
time and the planets, cells and stars
are utterly dependent
on Its unconditioned existence
tendencies must play themselves out
the arrow will stay its course
all things self correct and balance
but only the Changeless is a reliable friend
therefore I counsel myself
go quietly amidst the din
keep one eye looking out
but two eyes looking in
