about

god, please don’t make me come back

suffering is inevitable but impermanent should i suffer i must remember it is only the iteration of myself in the moment which is suffering once the moment has passed i am made new i am not

that self anymore

should i happen still to identify with that self i must acknowledge i am not that self my self is contingent i am not

my self i am not i am not my self anymore

should i grieve the loss of myself i must take refuge in the certainty that nothing is certain nothing is permanent everything is impermanent including suffering including

soon

as the secondhand ticks sooner than a fraction of a second before

i am not

i am not

i am not

lyrics

after 35 years of wasted time
i finally know that

it’s so clear

so many decades in the darkness groping blind
the veil’s been pulled back

to reveal

darkness more complete
falls over the peak
the last climb wading through
volcanic ash

summit looms above
dawn might never come
for every step up
slide two steps back

cloud beds stretch for miles
stars pierce points of light
in the predawn glow of the sky

the sun’s a gleaming coin
a heart bursting with joy
god, please don’t make me

come back
down
