A Rabbit Came Near
Truths that fly with the heart by Linaji I was sad one day and went for a walk; I sat in a field. A rabbit noticed my condition and came near. It often does not take more than that to help at times— To just be close to creatures who are so full of knowing, so full of love that they don’t chat, They just gaze with their marvelous understanding. —St. John of the...

You do not have to be good You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert repenting You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves Tell me about your despair and I will tell you mine Meanwhile the world goes on.

Read MoreRight This Second
I want to know about now the now beneath my fingertips gone already, once aware of itself only in knowing it was, however briefly now, already left redundant not caring what came next any more than what passed, now, not caring whether moments exist when they disappear as footsteps erased by concrete now, no forward, no back, was but a motion carried by the ambling of tree trunks forever round and...

Are you looking for me?
Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours. You will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: Not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables.
