Noob Mind

Try ye to take me viginity away?

To learn me to be a knower of things?
Knowers miss the freshness of now hidden behind their batteries of presumptions

I wanna be ready

For anything

Be ever a child of the universe

The mind wanders, ever searching for pleasant surprises

Pleasure rises and falls and then we chase memory shells
We long and scheme and leave perfection unattended

The happy novice is unbounded by the fetters of mastery

The plain Jane is unstained by the vanity and exaltation of beauty
The elderly content are not blinded by the desires of life to come

Each arising moment is new and unexperienced

One can never “know” it until it has happened
The future is not ours to know

The Novice is alert, watching and learning, open like a vase

A vase uncracked and able to hold the water of wisdom
Yet all is the play of wisdom
Eventually the water will evaporate
The water was illusion dissolved by time

We can’t hold on to the body

Yet much of what we know we know through the body
How can we know beyond the body?
What lies beyond conceptuality?
