My context

Post by ronnewmexico »

Snow foot or so sometimes two in drifts.
Night blackness
Sparkle in snowflakes headlamp

Trail 2 degrees F at start, -7 at finish.
Dogs,big one sometimes on point, little one mostly following in steps.
Cold paws pain, ice, must drop gloves to warm paws
Paws fine, first small, then big, then continue
Ice forming on pant leg where it meets boot
Knowing if this be the wild, ice then enough it forms tight around high ankle
Eventually this stops circulation and foot, it dies

Thinking one... step misstep,cold snow though not wilderness
none on these trails for month or so
Must not die now in such fashion as of such use is this thing at this time
Ah driving one wrong pull of the wheel...is it the same?
Perhaps, perhaps not, seems not

Thought then for a bit..... none of it
like watching a lake still busy with waves it seems but not me
just watching, not intended

Then on to paved road a hour or so
and home to hearth and fire
dogs working paws
I working internet

Stove and mouth to feed

No care nor concern that be..... it is all only context

Snow but 1 foot now most places
Trail starting, animals deer and such expounding less energy they will follow it to go here and there
Miles into forest but not really remote, noise of traffic a mile or more away
Following trail now a new one, no people on this one, none in this area months perhaps
Soon to be probably 2 or 3 feet to each side snow and me, trail, with dogs in the middle

Tracks, like deer but very small....sheep....none here normally tracks everywhere, deer coyote rabbit fox

Going first sun then set, reminding of orange sky mind of death
then black but moon enough to walk with no headlight

Going going hot at first 20's F cold at end teens
Mind busy day it seems then busy night
Chatter chatter company of sorts I guess
But yes...boring
So then to chant and sing mantra replaceing with this that
ending up with vajrasattava
being out of breath so is hiking up in foot of snow
difficult
thinking a bit...mind this but caused presented is heart not beating but beat by other circumstance

then seeing to left off trail light orb, small bright just a second or two
thinking ahh...old eyes trick nothing more
then back this way again turned around to go home
dogs both at same spot, not before or after, but both at this spot
pulling leash to the now right side, tails wagging as friend they see

so i say, hmmm same spot as light

seems unusual coincidence
beyond coincidencen how many miles and then this same spot
is it demon....no dogs like it
is it spirit being of benevelent nature...perhaps
keep secret this thing...no walking only not meditational experience
is it perhaps mind only creating this thing...perhaps that seemingly may happen
Perhaps one has sung vajrasattava to tree one thinks is perhaps containing being further but in this same forest
related to that...perhaps
dogs like it
perhaps I causeing it remains scent of it dogs like

so mind is busy with that for a bit...chatter this thing of no import things always happening of that sort

chatter chatter busy day busy night after this expect walk quiet a bit is quiet night I expect
but now busy, watch the busy thing
then tired...all winter this...how can one do this
so long so long snow up and snow down
so hard hard busy in snow

now to road 2 hours road hearth and home
dogs to paws me to internet

Warm 20's, dark now.
Headlamp trail ski tracks
dogs familiar now with snow
before afraid, now always happy

walking tedius then
all is caused does occur to one
to fingers toes to head to feet to body
then not a light necessary head lamp off
then legs not tired
then aches or pains become nothings

then coming to place in days prior of attention of dogs light
roughly in that place find now what it was
smell of demon these things can be so found
demon come to me eat me
cause only you will eat
demon none comes smell goes
away

off to trail continuing one a a half hour now
easy
to home and hearth
dogs to paws
I on trail still
remaining on trail caused
no effort in things as all things be caused
happening as are all things caused
no effort in things is needed

How could I forget this thing once remembered
and was the I that forget this I
think not says i
only i is this i in this time and place
so knowing now is knowing always this thing of cause
that other what was
what it was
was not this
this that is now
I remains on trail
following trail am I
the scent of it

Entering the dream now am I
No dream finding it
this magical place the real
that other
that the dream
like walking into a freeze frame of movie
this magical dimension
sitting now in cause

And now..rain slush dark

then for a bit in dark..light from ones self, as eyes lit by moonlight seemingly..fog no moon nor light..

..for a bit walking like that...
remembering as a child, high fever. Father carrying one, light all around, one reaches for light switch, shutting off light, light, father says..it is already off.
So high that fever, all skin on fingers, and toes, dies, leaving one with surface of dead skin, like web covering live skin. And then breaking and skin underneath being so raw it hurt just feeling a thing. And fingers so grooved then one can feel the groves in them...so strange.

and once at period of great surprise once in dark, seeing light as if in sunny day.... but just a flash that.

now this thing, a bit before, this time more...walking in it, as if a orb, or circle....

and then home to hearth and fire....no matter this thing, no matter at all.

Yes, cool calm glistening snow trail winding...

Thinking...

thank you demons.
Your spells encantations curses,
this sending me your things,
of such things, here.....I thank you....in this thinking.

Yes....I have used you,
Incited you to action
Ventured this thing of your curse and your doom
Purpose it has served.... .
Though you know it not, and knew it then
not

Harm you meant..... help it was.
Can I deny such a thing, Known.
Now thinking..means used..
time now, Parting these particular ways
if I could put you in my pocket take you warm and safe I would....

no fear you.
No doubt you.
Only strength you
No weakness you
I know you
have come to know you.
Compassion only I know of you.
Though you know and think it not..
necessary for you
In my thanking it remains for you

Sensation, as felt, a song this thing finely sung,
I feel it, I hear it, I know it...
it is in my bones this thing that is felt and only felt.
Drifting away from demon away from human
seeing perhaps clearly now
The snow has become my bed
The trail the movement of all
The poetry beating my heart and inflating my lungs
To breath
Breathed me
Poetry in all
Heart beat lungs fill
Poetry all

Beyond compare, beyond compare it is
Brightness, sound touch..beyond compare
Not wanting it nor not wanting
Flowing it is
Drop I be

Thank you demons
Though I employ you now not

A place you remain and I remain
Grateful for you.

Walking then I again remain..
on the trail
What then to come
Can it be more or less than this
What is only is

Things flowing into night
I remain then
Walking only then.

This feeling then
Do I deny it
Can I deny it
Do I want it
Do I not want it
What matter that then
What matter that?
it is the same.
It will shake the world
It be but a step away
Shaken and stepped away lie I on trail

Thinking that
Now home and hearth be I
Thinking now...next it is
Poetry all song all
My blood all, this flowing song
This next
This next I spend some time doing this thing
Song within and without
Playing that now
For a bit
Now.....

Snow drifts down
Slowly
All is change
And all has changed

Snow now hard, on top, ice on top
dogs walking on top. me falling through.
Diamonds all on snow this morning...

Thinking
do others see these things?

Then occurs a clear globe of sorts
Light
very bright
in which all thoughts arise and then dissolve.
Not as visualization seemingly but as real thing
Then be I animal....no more words

Perhaps
then that be my fate
No other can it be....I can be no other way
and I stay with this
and am this still
thoughts they come and go
and dissolve in this thing of round light
seems so strange
I do not desire it nor avert it
but it remains for now
so strange

Then it seems
all smiling happy noticing one
do they sense something?
and it seems the same whereever one goes
a clear thought arises then dissolves into globe
matters not to be a animal nor what to say
or what to say not
It just is this way
smiling only i smile back
and be nice
what they see here
i don't know
feel something I suppose
it is so strange
like being on a stage
but it is now today
everywhere I go

Now talking to shou lin...how strange this life
artist from this place.... austrian
studied in that place for many years
here now he with me

I ask him
do then you think consciousness arises by circumstance
or do you think consciousness is always on
always on says he
his a tripod.... confusious tao and buddha
mostly tao
thinking after....shou lin here
and talking of these thing...
my life so strange
how may I explain it?

then home to hearth
and then sitting on sofa
sense cat
walk then to door and find cat
walking to door outside cat
I feed outdoor cat

so strange my life so strange
how can I explain how things are
I cannot
how do we see things
and why so random in such myriad display

walking in the forest

no use demon now
that being done
powerful energy but its time has passed
thanking demon I will sing to demon
if they so like such a thing
they bother not with me
only if I incite them
which I do not
they are so sad
I wish them well
they know not such things
of wishing nor well

so that is as it is
at times the orb
it seems it is all of me
arms legs all
will it then become all out of me
as well

suspect i may find out that thing

living with it
i will not hide it
walking in forest
nevertheless
they feel it
that is enough
they sense it
i know now they sense it
but know not what it is

Shou lin
he talks of this thing
he says.... shou lin
the mood it is enough

so I ask him... shou lin
I have not a single accomplishment
be not confused at this but I say this..
shou lin....
is it enough then.... shou lin
one they say enlightened,
the world itself becomes not enlightened

Shou lin....
I think them wrong
no seperation exists it must be this other way...

yes
says Shou Lin...he agrees....
I
having resolved that issue...walk in forest

I sense they want me
they love me quite dearly
they know i must leave this place to be
as i must be
my time perhaps it be not long
this thought also dissolves into globe of light
thinking in the end

they love me so strongly
easily and in a gentle manner
like a breath exhaled
I suspect it will be
borrowed now my time be
entirely in bliss though i search for it nor care for it
it remains

my strength my suppleness
growing it is
seems strange
so strange
healthy positively healthy
any pain it seems
stared at or touched
it disappears
does this happen if i touch another
i wonder....

Luckily they hear not this thing
I could not explain this thing
it is so strange
i am so strange
my life it is plastic
ripping at the seams
it is becoming
more and more tranparent this thing
so strange
i cannot be other

i.... and now remembering
today out and on that road
thinking thought as light
then
crystal clear as if a dream
or some certain three dimension thing of sight
mountains forest outstanding
never seen this way
and thinking now of this thing
and then
recalling that thing of sight
now remembered will it now be again
before me now here

I expect i will find out

bliss now every sensation
all it is all in all fingers toes arms body entire
so strange
i am so strange
all thought it becomes
clear music heard as never before
eyes seeing as never before
feeling walking through walls, it would be with ease

forest trail in snow
tomorrow
i walk
these things said if heard
disregard them all
for you
they are not

He walked in the forest and this he found:

All those things

Anger desire, all those actively felt emotions
they being the flavor of things as they are apprehended
a color
it is the depth of it
a touch
it is the fineness of it
a smell
it is the differentiation of it

Finding the ability to stay in this
this thing only and nothing more
is this finding of these things
as those things are

pointless
there is nothing to point too
the pointer
it is all those things it is wanting
always wanting to point too

The jeweled aspect to it
the incredible quality to it
that makes what seems mundane
always and invariably devine in all aspect
in being
all is in being
nothing needs to be added too
nor detracted from
it is then this...

what is desired is then really truly found right before one
never needed to be found nor searched for
it is right here
the desire it is the fascinating aspect to it....that is all
what is already there before one
within one
the desire the wanting
it is the thing itself of apprehension
what provides the magic of the thing perceived
what is not in that thing wanted
but be the thing itself
of apprehension itself
it be found
and thusly found and formed
all perceived
is in magical formation found
from the simplest to most profound
in itself all is but by magical formation found
desire itself it is that magic
but no desire need be formed
it is the things itself of it
that is the magic
all aspect of anything found
without that thing of wanting
it is all found magical
wanting no more
magical all becomes

but known not by thought only
but heart as well
is this thing
to find this thing as
as real thing
that really is

no hammer nor vise
may provide this thing
understanding only this thing
with study

and means
though thing of hammer and vise
may shape that thing into useable form
it cannot make that thing
what is that thing on which it works
other than what is found to be then
that thing of which it be formed
great purpose then hammer and vise
but not thing from which is formed
this thing found by hammer and vise
tools they remain

So thusly fascinated he remained
walking in the forest
a magical being in a all entirely
now
magical realm

goodby

know at this point in time
someone somewhere knew this
and did really truly write
as conditions were present
so that he may
he wrote of
what he found
and what was the contex
of the finding

as he was told by spiritual teacher great...
let none of them
tell you you may not do this thing
this study of mind
he says as well....
it is only the presentation
that may not be seen
in this day and age
the thing itself
even in this day and age
it may be arisen too
do not be so decieved

goodby

his forest paths of golden dimension
finest gold you may descibe
as these things of decription only allow
leaves of various fauna
of jewelry formed
his breath ambrosia
his walk
walked effortlessly

he is walked

goodby

don't look to find him for these things so spoken of
in forest trail or mountain peak
don't search for him
look only to yourself

spoken only they are
it will not help you
many words are spoken
and written in many form
they do not help you
formed they are
but forms they remain
with limitation inherant

his finding
it would not help you
find this
and it would help you
in your heart
find this
this magical place
he
he is a forest walker
in this life

only

the past is the future
Know that
they both be easily read
know exactly the past
and exactly read the future is

goodby

the context of the thing
the mileau it which it resides
with study is found
resides as well and cannot be other
than that thing itself

goodby
