Worldly winds
Thursday, 2 June 2022, 22:30
Visible to anyone in the world
Time
Memory
Flows
Now gone
The second hand ticking.
Self-streams
A narrativeĀ
Clarative
Breathing.
Notice
the wanting.
Pulled by the eight wordly winds:
'Pain and pleasure;
Wealth and misfortune;
Success and failure;
Fame and disrepute.'
These are the eight worldly winds.
That pull one's craving
This way and that
That way and this
Freedom from desire is bliss.
To learn to gently let go of the clinging.
And be kind to each moment
Making peace.
