Blossoms of the Dakini.
“Aspiring to the levels of realisation and liberation
Means deviating from bodhi;
Aspiring to obtain happiness
Is the great suffering;
Aspiring to attain the state beyond thought
Is another thought.
If you understand this,
Seek no further.”
(Princess Gomadevi)
————–
I neither believe
Nor disbelieve
The thoughts that arise in me.
They are a mellifluous river,
A breeze in a high place;
Sounds and sensations
That arise and disperse,
Flowers that open and fade,
Stars revealed and obscured by cloud.
I move, the road stays still.
I stay still, the road moves on.
Following the paths of my ancestors
I return to their dwelling place.
Following my own path
I become lost in dream.
Staying still,
I listen to the forest;
Sun and moon dance before me.
The road disappears,
The need disappears.
One feather, one petal
Comes to rest.
Movement dissolves.
Resonance.

From the opening quote to the closing line, it’s all together, with great flow.
And major props on the last line. Lingers, then fades out in a way that’s neither forced, or too slow.
Really great work here. With the art work too. Must compliment that more. So much more.
Thank you! This is one of those I caught in time. Words rolling around inside the skull, released by the pen and blank page, first thing in the morning. Gomadevi is a dakini of Realisation whose practice I have just tentatively begun.
Ah, paradox sweet paradox. 😀
Hi. Nice pictures. Who is the author? Are you?
Thanks! Yes, they are a couple of my digital artworks.
