More from the Shambhala weekend... (with permission)
[Practice is so hard]
Practice is so hard
It's uncomfortable
And boring
I never get it right anyway
I want to watch T.V.
Or have a little chat
And then I remember
I'm not doing it for myself
I suppose I can sit
A while longer
— William O.
[They say death comes without warning]
They say death comes without warning
I'm not so sure
The color of the persian carpet flower in the sea
The sounds of the mockingbird at 3 AM
The smell of garlic and onions cooking in butter
The subtle flavors of a rich wine
The feel of a silk shirt
These must be warnings to a warrior for they cannot be distraction
They are the celebration I am longing for
They are the ache in my heart, the tear in my eye
— Pat L.
