Poem:

There is no past and there is no future, there is only a pathway going into a tunnel. This is the alternative struggle. You can come to my cafe but the purpose of coffee is to sit in meditation. For those sitting in meditation it is one dollar, but for those going on social media it is fifteen dollars. The new style of the gift economy makes the world much better. Those who like to plunder are now considered poor. If you sit in silent contemplation you can open up the door, it is no longer such a mystery. Total detachment changes your cellular structure. You don’t need a committee when you can tap into the power of the Master. The ideal pleasure is just to stop moving. You can burn up your old principles and invent new ones. You can grow a big head and turban like Shams and Rumi. You can illumine the scriptures and then have them circle back into you, creating more and more formal structure.
