if I knew where I was going

I'd be there already--

I'm almost certain

the day will play out

without any strong

deadly interference

a tiny prayer

in the mouth

of Moloch

by one being consumed

I don't know about you

but I sure as shit ain't ready

for any cosmic change of mind--

I exhausted my own imagination

wondering about betterment

and progress and transcendence

so much that I'm stymied by their occasions

rising out of life as it actually is--

my adjustment slow and persistent

among these sharp awarenesses--

wound sustained and proud scar--

and contrition for have just blown it again--

and mind changed for me--

ready or not

still looking for the Fullness

the heart exhausted by the endless striving

but at some point the striving WILL end

and in that consciousness the heart will rest

full

don't listen to the ignorant

(they do more than enough damage)

do what you must as well as you can

but the result is not yours

your doing is part of a bigger process

and if it turns out differently for lack of your effort

it is still a result of which we are part

be grateful for being looked after by One Greater

be happy to be part of a bounty

how can one hate me but love my work

or hate my work but love me?

we're one and the same--

My work IS me and I my work--

what the hell is wrong with you people?
