The thought that you might be mad because
you can't handle everything...is crazy.
I want my life to require courage.
There's another concept that I wish there was a word for:
It's the act of honing into the essence of something.
It's non-dichotomous solutions to the problems of being.
It's the strategies and methods to accomplish something that all fall short
in that they achiever and the achieved remain one step apart
separated by the method.
In the end, as you hone in,
the wish and the action and the result should merge
and the planner must depart, and the waiting evaporate
and the 'you' becomes a unity of wish/action
as the ever-present moment forms.
Greater awareness through meditation
won't increase one's abilities at social games
but that doesn't keep us from looking for that transference
and being surprised that it's missing.
Why should an increased ability to contemplation
yield more skill at being shallow?
