Maya … every moment, everywhere
my love for … my need for … my wish that….
Rose turns slightly and the axis of my world tilts,
she gives her love or withholds it
and I go staggering drunk with pain or ecstasy.
‘Loving attitude’, Tim said, ‘Find it inside.’
Become immune to Maya … accept and cherish everything
or at least be unflinchingly responsible for it.
The relativity of what comes from outside yourself
is a aspect of the dance you must sway perfectly to.
My physiology, my time, my food, and my attitudes
are much more mine than my running steps can bear.
Unbroken chain, this, welling from inside;
my highest aspirations and my faith.
Let them build moment by moment …
listen to them … become one.
