about You

Let me tell you about you
beautiful sane lunatic
brilliant
It's the glory of the gods when you graze the path of humanity
Let me tell you
I think you're the sparkly shiny ornamentation that makes it all glitter
you're you and that's enough
enough? an understatement,
so much more, more than most
You relish in the absurd, you seek out differences, you make them happen
Let me tell you
it is this about you
that makes me want to run and
also stay and never leave

[sleuth]

If you want to be free,
Get to know your real self.
It has no form, no appearance,
No root, no basis, no abode,
But is lively and buoyant.
It responds with versatile facility,
But its function cannot be located.
Therefore when you look for it,
You become further from it;
When you seek it,
You turn away from it all the more.

__ LINJI____


The past is already past.
Don’t try to regain it.
The present does not stay.
Don’t try to touch it.

From moment to moment.
The future has not come;
Don’t think about it
Beforehand.

what ever comes to the eye,
Leave it be.
There are no commandments
To be kept;
There’s no filth to be cleansed.

With empty mind really
Penetrated, the dharmas
Have no life.

When you can be like this,
You’ve completed
The ultimate attainment.
