The Cruise

The Cruise Poem: When I go into Meditation I sail my ship right off the edge of the earth into Annihilation. Some people think such a trip is insane. But Columbus discovered another world. If you got on a travel-around-the-world meditation cruise ship you could do the same thing. You could sit by the pool and go into Samadhi. You could drink a cocktail of nectar. For sport you could walk a lot in the port. In the evening there could be songs in Hindi. At night you could walk around the boat and look at the sky. They could stop at world renown monasteries and listen to homilies. 

“It is like one who witnesses the sea, then sails upon the sea, then drowns in the sea” Qushayri page 111 Early Islamic Mysticism David Smith poem: January 26, 2019 #cruise #poem
