Rob Schackne #320 - "Tibetan Blues"


Tibetan blues
it grew like this
a strategic pudding
I’m a bit dismayed
now the peace & quiet
leaves me high in Lhasa
stoned as a monkey
except for a thousand
wheels of no impression
why would I be angry
these prayer wheels
I span them all my life
snow melts the seasons
soldiers are in the streets
convoys coming west
how you found me

    Now that's a meditation - in the midst of loss - those wheels!

    Cheers, James. The Theory of Two Truths. Madhyamaka doctrine etc. Too high for a Tuesday afternoon in Shanghai. :)
