Teachable

Pessoa taught me the

fine points of a thoughtless

life.  Stressed the blessing

of an awareness not my

own and not God’s,

but perhaps your’s.  I

intend to travel without

moving, to love without

loving and to help without

helping.  A meditation so

fine tuned that my body

becomes merely a vessel,

like a ship or a plane.

I wonder why it’s so

hard to divorce self

from self, especially

if one thinks about the

despicable self.  I find

that part very simple,

enormously easy. But

I think, it’s that self

that hinders a divorce

from self, because then

I want to improve it,

pay more attention to it.

It’s time to make a mad

dash for the forest and not

look backwards, other than

that, I don’t know what the

hell to do.
