Subtle

Starting again
It’s hard to detach

Indulging in thoughts
Why are you fabricating?

You’re not a robot
Life isn’t an optimization problem

Comparison is futile, illogical
Like waves in an ocean
We are all separate
We are all one

Trace the fear
Trigger the attachment
Observe the sensation
Train not to react

Immerse in the subtle energy currents
Raw, deconditioned life force
Carve a core space inside
For clarity, freedom, lightness

Let go of the rail
Drink in the discomfort
Dive into the deep end
Let it sheet off

Kick up the dust cloud of thought
Watch it dissipate
Get underneath
Get real

Indulge in life
Without addiction

Body

Walk the tightrope
Indulge in reality
Avoiding addiction
Consuming the finest food
Absent eating disorders 

Pride without ego
Conviction without craving

Comparing is distracting
Realit-y is realit-ive
Cut through the fog of unreal

Think the thoughts you want
Don’t think the thoughts you don’t want

Do the work
Leave the drama

Slacken the jaw
Feel full body energy 
Stay right here
No matter what

Short-circuit the round trip
Remain local
Feel the pristine life force
Observe how the body breathes
Chitta of an arahant is empty

Perform wholesome, skillful, pious actions
Abstain unwholesome, unskillful actions
Keep purifying the mind
