Must I glance at my watch to know time passes so quickly from my window seat..I look only to replenish in the hours I still have and not to see what has gone.... Here, where bamboo fences are stained the beautiful colour of rose wood one might find lining a thailand beach in full form of a shack.. Where the water pools just enough on the ground that you can tell the raining has not yet stopped, but changed again, from the way was falling.... And I read Conze, the perfection of wisdom and I say no, I'm not alone on that thailand beach, carrying my backpack of emptiness, for even naked, it would still be an attachment, all that emptiness, as I'd feel it weighing me down from the beauty of the sunrise, the ocean and everything my eye and senses can catch light of smell of that god shines down in all his glory... And I read Clement of Rome and pray to be empty of all , so that the holy spirit can fill me , And I listen to Rilke " there is only one thing to do, go into yourself, find out the reason that commands you to love, to write, see whether it has spread the roots into the very depths of ur heart, confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write to love...ask yourself in the very silent hour of your night, must I write, dig into yourself for a deep answer, if u meet this solemn question with a strong simple, I must , then build your life in accordance with this necessity, your whole life even into its humbling and most indifferent hour must become a sign and witness to this impulse.."
