reality
[aka
confusion
disconnection
resentment
frustration
cowardice
grief]
isn’t optional
…
reality
[aka
clarity
intimacy
gladness
ease
courage
joy]
isn’t optional
…
if I scream for a break from this full-on life
with all its dualistic extremes
I’ve gone and forgotten
again
that reality isn’t optional
…
and how extraordinary to find that this
savage wisdom somehow soothes
and silences, softly,
sweetly,
the voice of she-who-screams
~
echoes from emptiness 
of course, and ever; it’s just that I forgot – no I didn’t … savage, because it’s so IN your face that you think you do your blinking yourself (… oh, wonderful image of a cartoon character just walked into an explosion: his body blown away, the scene blown away, just whiteness and two eyes that blink. Twice. Only)
Great image Mark!
Splendid!
Just spent seven days with Rupert. Also splendid.
I was thinking of you at Rupert’s retreat dear Amrita … supersuperspendid! 🙂
