at least i can acknowledge my temporary lack of mental life. self-consciousness runs deep.

Man, I really wish I was at the park swinging. I'm really brain dead right now, but I'm not sure I could fall asleep. Here's a Hafiz poem entitled "My Brilliant Image":

One day the sun admitted,

I am just a shadow.
I wish I could show you
The Infinite Incadescence (Tej)

That has cast my brilliant image!

I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,

The Astonishing Light

Of your own Being!
