Oghatinnoti

i want you to meet my new friend.

this is Oghatinnoti!

he is really special to me!

he is happy to meet you.

the thought of making hummus

i remember once, an octopus came to my house and made hummus

now,

just thinking about making hummus makes me content and fills me with joy

a truly pleasant feeling

the taste of olives in brine is truly divine

thinking about the taste, i can taste the thought

and it makes me smile and laugh

everything is a miracle

nonduality

facts are not solid

good = bad

question or statement?

we are one and not separate

we are not really our selves

defined by creeping moss

the facial expressions crevices in rocks

the soothing sound of running water

but shock never wears off

it disappears at times

from where our path leads us

coloring outside the lines

when we become sun chasers

because you wished it would stay

as faced with desolate grey

nothing is permanent, thank goodness

as the days glide before our eyes

and the trails the planes leave in the sky

no two moments are the same

"what do you surmise?"

we can all withstand samsara,

it has never been a breeze;

these chasms of sarcasm, 

this abyss of unrest.

the way to nirvana has been shared with me,

i am now sewing my seeds.

circumscribed earthquakes,

geometric rainbow trees.

i smell something sweet

as Isis stays with me.

Oghatinnoti embraces 

when i am in need.

he does love me dearly,

with my magenta moon phases.

sunflower retinas, galaxies in dream;

awake during sleep, neutralized desire.

muses sing softly, chanting in the depths

of the ocean where all is calm,

i am patient for time

when i will join in their song.

Aikido

in harmonious rhythms

the universe is 

a single song

all encompassing, in which we are composed

with every rhythmic step we take.

"Those who are possessed by nothing possess everything."
