Sometimes I can’t decide if this
is fragile or enduring.
Tonight, at the Rajneesh beer garden
I saw a senior sanyasin
escorting a couple of reporters
and she looked so worried…

I wonder if Bhagwan is the glue or his ideas
and as I write this, I know
its him; the living master
with him the forms could change
but not the essence
without him no form will be more
than a casting of how it was last
and each change or embellishment
will dilute those last echos
until finally the living word
will have been erased
and we will have only another name
to add to the list…
Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed….
