Impermanence


Close your mouth,

 Block off your senses,

 Blunt your sharpness,

 Untie your knots,

Soften your glare.

This is the Primal Identity

This first always


"How is it possible

That a being with such sensitive jewels as the eyes,

Such enchanted musical intruments as the ears,

And such fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain,

Can experience itself anything less than a god?"

Alan Watts.
