ganesha.

....the last thing i remember was the hideous smell of brisket floating up through the floorboards....it's that deepest kind of rest. the kind where you are in another dimensional state. that kind where fire-alarms go off in your house and you don't ever hear it. the kind where you re-emerge: changed. bright. new. seeing technicolor. neons. and bright bursts of color. life becomes a Peter Max poster. serendipitous moments to follow....

it's like nothing else on earth. samadhi. samadhi for a reason.

THE SUN IN DRAG   

You are the Sun in drag.

You are God hiding from yourself.

Remove all the "mine" - that is the veil.

Why ever worry about

Anything?

Listen to what your friend Hafiz

Knows for certain:

The appearance of this world

Is a Magi's brilliant trick, though its affairs are

Nothing to nothing.

You are a divine elephant with amnesia

Trying to live in an ant 

Hole.

Sweetheart, O sweetheart

You are God in

Drag!

-Hafiz
