Deliver me from the isolation of the Self, for surely this is the essence of imprisonment.
Clever and calculating, I fall back into the prison of self.
When I am willful and overbearing, I am not loved, at best I am only needed.
The fetters of this reasoning binds me, but through the insight of this, I can be free.

The Cure
May we all sense the Purpose --
be it through God, or through mediation,
or by action, or through any way
that works, please let us find it.
We'll take this realization
when it happens.
Let it start this day.
Please let it be recognized now,
a cure of this cycle of wanting,
through the ache of it.

Delight
I pray delight never left
and when it comes back
it is accepted
I pray innocence are delight's
wings and generosity
illuminates it
May I not wait long in denial
before I make this place
snug for arrival

It Is In Giving That We Live
It is in giving that we live,
in giving we learn,
in giving we tell,
in giving we love,
in giving we receive,
in giving we know,
in giving we stay.
There is nothing else,
no lingering unhappiness,
no crushing doubt,
no harboring resentment,
no undying hatred,
no undone thing,
no broken promise,
no unfulfilled vow.
