Response to Ka...

A peaceful realization.

Always thinking, always wanting

An excessive desire to know

A terrible obsession to grow

So that when I died I began to realize

That all of this will not be necessary ever again.

 

I drew a sketch to match my soul

And then stepped back to look

The edges were too edgy for my taste

I'd have to blend them better

So I took my pen and weaved the lines

And made the planes connect

It has more life and beauty and living growth

Simply because I discarded the Tao

And embraced the Zen

 

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...........

The first sound a newborn makes in peaceful understanding.

A playful kid will yell it out when having so much fun.

A lover will breathe it in the most intimate moments.

Someone who dies whispers it in the final moments.

 

Aaaaaaahhh......Kaaaaaaaaaaaa

I was wrong to forget

Oooooooohhh........Aaaaaaaaahhhhh

I must stay like this yet

As myself I must know

And continue to grow

But at the pace of Ka

Mmmm.......Aaaaaaaaaahhh....

But the Tao, when properly understood, IS Zen.

Remember your Oriental philosophies! There are no rigid and pure dichotomies!
