Crossing Boundaries

Crossing Boundaries

Transgression

One living breathing four-legged brother eclipses a thousand perfect
   ecstasies of man and material.

Talk is cheap but wisdom is priceless
Compassion is Freedom

Awkward moments and due consideration and reflection
A strange place for one with a vow
This is what happens when you get lost in a herd of goats, cows, and standing people

To call for Life
To let fall the executioner’s blade
If we run they’ll find others to replace us
Simply caught in a net
I should have known better
Never again the fool aye

The usual grumble again fills the background
Stars shining in someone else’s sky
Somewhere beyond planning and composition is the peace of mastery
Longing to let loose
Remembering is the key to Forgetting
Trance

Oh my friends – my sisters
I owe you my attention
May it not waiver

To carry the guilt of the criminal is to bear a heavy burden
Recompense is easy but loss of life is a heavier load by far
Such thievery is a cause for sadness and contemplation
May all unwary trespassers find deeper truth and authentic kindness
No easy roads ahead but travel is required
Bummer

I will not walk along this precipice again for there is no virtue in falling.
