a poem by Deng Ming Dao

From nonduality hightlights #4247

Even in sleep, write a poem.
When waking, write a poem.
While loving, write a poem.
Even voting, write a poem.
When angry, write a poem.
While dreaming, write a poem.

The sages say quite seriously that those who wish to know Tao
better
should cultivate the poet in themselves.

~ Deng Ming-Dao

*my murmurs are misread for ecstasy*.... nothing wrong with that. I could listen night and day.
