I realize the best | of all possible worlds | in an instant, as dawn
reveals the horizon, | the sky is transparent, | it is real and not real,
each time I recollect | decisions in the past, | things could have been much worse,
also, things could have been | much better than they are, | flip a coin, it's just life,
lift the veil, a spirit | guides me on my journey, | or I chose each venture,
it doesn't matter which, | the metaphysics get | in the way of seeing
zebras as black and white, | but life is otherwise, | to hold this state of mind
enlightens the burden, | lifts the stone of thinking, | of regrets and remorse,
this state of mind, I had | in college, wide open, | deep in meditation,
however, my hormones | were out of whack, I lost | weight, and then, lost my mind,
even at twenty-one, | I was ready and not | ready for the challenge,
bodhisattvas appear | rarely, how difficult | to sustain awareness,
even if I could now, | the fact of the matter | is total selflessness
secures a decision | to save all sentient | beings, to awaken
the world to the lightness, | unbearable for some, | to always walk the path...
