Whatever that can be burnt, should be burnt. Whatever cannot be readily consumed by fire should be smashed and put through the fire before dumping into the trash-can.
a field of fireworks, lions dancing through the smoke. sitting still, moving slow, stumbling through the simplest forms.
a yellow jeep rolling across the country, a dollar on the sidewalk and back out the window to another on the same path. the new year and the work has begun. freedom from desire, freedom from anger, freedom from delusion, and freedom from bondage.
when the fire has done its work, the crops can grow again. all praise to the cell, to the prison, to those who imprison, and to those who reside in or are cast out of that prison.
praise the lotus, whose pristine petals rise from sewage, showing our true nature. praise the pain and praise the joy!
Reach out your hand if your cup be empty,
If your cup is full may it be again,
Let it be known there is a fountain,
That was not made by the hands of men
