Poem From the Ether... 12Feb07







Kick In The Head
The purpose of the spiritual teacher
is to anihilate the pupil's ego.


Whack!


Ouch!
That hurt!


Whack! Whack!


C'mon...'killin' me!


Whack! Whack! Whack!

(pause)


(silence)


I feel embarrassed,
but I am not my embarrassment.


I am confused,
but I am not my confusion.


(inward retreat)


I have feelings
but I am not my feelings.


(silence...waiting)


Am I childish?
Am I not childish?
Am I neither?


(pause)


Whew!


Good thing I know my Self
from a hole in the ground.


And many thanks
to the One
who just
kicked the shit
out of my ego.


Blessings.
