breathing in
I smile
[lungs rattling, terrorist bugs at war with antibiotics, cough like a dying camel,
green goo by the spittoon-full, aching chest, watery eyes]
breathing out
I smile
[silence, stillness, serenity, pristine perfect, incorruptible, immovable,
unknowable Awareness – – – utterly unaffected]
breathing in, breathing out
being breathed
and
being bugged
I smile

A deep bow to my Dharma namesake and inspiration, Yeshe Tsogyal

what a reminder – again – I just forgot to smile 🙂

3.comment – Yeshe Tsogyal happens to be my favorite too – much love, and loving de-buggment
Leelah – “namesake”: a person or thing with the same name as another.
Many years ago I was given the Dharma name Yeshe Dolma by a wonderful Lama who twigged that my abiding interest was “primordial wisdom” (Yeshe). The life and wisdom of Yeshe Tsogyal has always been such an inspiration for me.
