#11 : Transparent to transcendence

I feel full.
Too full in fact.
I eat too much and too often,
I think too much and too often
I wonder what was and what will be
I feel full of wonder,
Full of doubt.

The days pass me by like moments
And moments fly by faster than the blinks-
Between my breaths,
There is a rush in living, a rush to the end
An imaginary race to be finished
But the end is death, and I'm in no hurry to die
I want to live, slow
Deliberate, empty.
I worship the slow unfolding of time
The many visions of stillness
Inside an open cocoon, I grow,
Slowly, lahe, lahe.
