the act of knowing remains a dream

i have been seeking all my life
i am a poor student
i sit zazen without conviction
i am filled with worldly greed
compassion for all life escapes me
i do not believe i have been here before
suffering is surely in all things
but so is the bliss of seeing
everything…

we are here to pass forward the secret
so secret we can not read it
the word of god
the act of knowing remains a dream…

Log in to write a note

i think only by living will we know. not all at once, but in bits and pieces

I pretty much agree. I had a quote about life being a pretty bubble – but I can’t quite remember it. Sometimes I can find the notebook it’s written in but not today.
