hatred for her face, rage for his profile,

as they waited for their hamburgers

Angels of Mercy, Dove of Shekinah‘s Grace

fractured souls, fragmented psyches, grief and devastation

I submit to the cleansing shower, like a shivering dog in a bathtub

when the dark night of the soul persists do not resist

the rebirthing process, stay connected, that is the key

all spiritual approaches must culminate in the approach

of the Vajra Heart Essence, being impossible

to attain Buddhahood without perceiving this doorway

Yuthok, the Medicine guru, and his Dakinis

will grant you your deepest desires with their Medicines and Nectar

the Medicines and Nectar of your own True Essence

my deepest desire for the fusion of Sun and Moon with him

he came like a thief in the night

and left me with an embroidered wall hanging

I made a vow to him one night as we were still damp

from sweat and heat, I said, I pledge you my Truth

he spoke of the Nature of Mind

allowing boundary to arise from adoring care of self and other

free from aggression

when there is discomfort or negativity in the dream

the practice is to bring Love to it

I understand the fractured soul, the fragmented psyche

the kind where the mother tries to destroy the child

or the mother kills herself

it makes for a very different kind of life and practice

we take care with the story and positionality
