"I have heard ...."

“I have heard from my teacher that where there are machines, there are sure to be machinations.  Where there are machinations, there are sure to be scheming hearts.  When pure simplicity is impaired, the living spirit is unsettled and cannot be with Tao ….”

Zhuangzi 

Whatever it was

Whatever It was



that made this earth

the wind

its pillar,


arranged the lotus and the moon,


and covered it all with folds


of sky



with Itself inside,



to that Mystery


indifferent to differences,



to It I pray,
O Ramanatha.
