Fasting

Fasting

Poem:

If you are reduced to a simple structure you just become a mantra. Just the Gurbani can be your philosophy. Going into the pre-eternal is the best immunity defense. Defense from what? You can actually conquer death. You can sail your ship deep into the heart of the present. Because he doesn’t watch TV Thomas Merton is not mixed up in the head. You can just make your crutch writing. Today the birds sang at 5 there does not have to be any rhyme or reason. During a pandemic some people think being connected is being on the internet even though they have not met. Though through the sound current you can connect to God. You can read thoroughly through Thoreau journals if you are not in a hurry. You can obtain your Doctorate in just sitting and not moving. People think excessive food buying is wisdom. You can just fast and rot the stuff you hoarded so the avalanche of supplies does not make you a glutton. You can just have books and scores and sit on the floor and survive within minimalism. You can both read and play Schubert.
