Forgive the crudeness

[Bodhi Tree]

my brother busted me in the head and broke his hand
after I drug him out of bed
saying I would not tolerate drunkenness in my sanctuary

we wrestled and nearly broke my guitar
and could have broken more
had my mother not intervened

some people sit in mental towers built on spiritual fabrications
surrounded by the scaffolding of air-conditioned comfort
and a malaise of convenience and entertainment

I've sat in that tower (probably still do)
but the walls come crumbling down
when the blow strikes your head

suffering isn't just an issue of identity or misperception
though the ones in the tower would have you believe that

suffering is a bundle of behavior that gets expressed
in a continuum of movements seeking to align themselves
with the gravity of unity

if love is the power of all emotions,
then suffering is the skin that gets shed
to let the love shine with full potential

broken hands, busted heads, and shed skin...
and the trail of life keeps blazing.
