It’s not my job to teach her
My job is to love her

It’s not my job to teach her
My job is to love her

Everything is a door into myself.

Self love is
dancing to old tunes
in my car
as I drive on 101 S through the night.

Just one moment of resting in the ground of my own being
Beats the taste of ten thousand girlfriends.
One hundred million of them.

My Zen teacher
is not a Zen teacher.
How pertinent!
Let me be ruined by love,
So that I may come back to you
without pride, or stupidity,
-Or pretense, or opinions-
or any sense of separation…
-Jeremy Taylor
(In gratitude to my dear friend Heidi for passing this on)

1. The first piece is gone, beyond gone.
2. I get in touch with my vast, deep sorrow
to find out there is no sorrow.
3. “To know the difference between what hurts and what doesn’t”
people call that by fancy names.
4. With it being all a lie, focus on what works, discard what doesn’t.
5. Free to be bound and free to be free
what a wonderful thing!
6. As I die in the love for my teacher
I live.
7. Everything shows me how to be of service.

All I have to offer
is my vulnerability

I just want to sit at the feet of the master
and weep.
I just want to sit at the feet of the master
and weep.
I just want to sit at the feet of the master
and weep.

Wanting to connect
I die to myself.
I can’t tell if that’s a bad thing
but it doesn’t matter.
And that’s a good thing.
