Don’t be surprised,
Don’t be startled;
All things will arrange themselves.

Grasp the void

Friday, June 13th, 2003

The first thing is not to grasp
The void.
If you sit in meditation
With an empty mind,
You will grasp the
Unrecordable voidness.

It’s good to grow old content.
Cold and heat change my appearance;
The pearl of my mind stays safe
