Eye of Delusion
By Tess on Saturday: Jan 12, 2008 at 23:37:42 | Permalink | Tickle My Senses (2)
I told myself not to post because some things are better left unsaid but since some are asking I will write five sentences. Due to circumstances this birthday wasn't what I was hoping for at all. There has only been one other moment in my life so far where I felt as lonely as I did this day. I think I had a lesson to learn...
I'll reply to your emails soon, just because it wasn't what I was hoping for doesn't mean I don't appreciate you.

In the awakened eye
Mountains and rivers
Completely disappear.
The eye of delusion
Gazes upon
Deep fog and clouds.
Alone in my zazen
I forget the days
As they pass.
The wisteria has grown
Thick over the eaves
Of my hut.

ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....] Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!

Hi Monica,
thank you for your birthday wishes :)
I guess it was just another way of life showing me that I have some more soul searching to do ;)
Next year will be grand...
I did spoil myself though, I bought two small chocolate fudge cakes *hehe*
