Fabulous fabulating
takes nothing literal
apparent flexibility
and total freedom
in consciousness
and everything
works very well
for sweet angels
ferries and gnomes
maybe also unicorns
and for humans mostly
while still quite young
again when very old
perhaps dement
out of the body
when all literal
locks in tight
to pull so-called
impure rotten teeth
draws exclusive lines
between us and them
ignoring we’re woven
together in one unity
that all try to protect
but most do trample
with their bare feet
polluting in excess
instead of purifying
with what we think
we say and all do
in this very body
here and now.
“Sunrise miracle”
Contemplating the body as a body
“In this way he abides contemplating the body as a body internally, or he abides contemplating the body as a body externally, or he abides contemplating the body both internally and externally. Or else he abides contemplating in the body its nature of arising, or he abides contemplating in the body its nature of vanishing, or he abides contemplating in the body its nature of both arising and vanishing. Or else mindfulness that ‘there is a body’ is simply established in him to the extent necessary for bare knowledge and mindfulness. And he abides independent, not clinging to anything in the world. That is how [one] abides contemplating the body as a body.”
— Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta — Majjhima Nikāya — the middle length discourses of the Buddha, translated from Pali by Bhikkhu Ñāṇamoli and Bhikkhu Bodhi
