Watching shadows from within the shadows_PICK



On pickpockets.
As a child, I was gentle and respectful of elders who to my eyes was every person who had that demeanor of being in charge. It was later, way into my forties that the realized that this quality was a developmental excess which in the ensuing years had morphed into other 
aberrations that affects emotions ones view of others. 
My father encouraged and helped me board the train. I was timorous
 timid child and secured a place in the crowded VT Local. The overhead train light hardly shed any illumination below the  commuters necks, shouldering their burdens. Those furrowed face lined with 

I noticed a hand reached from the effulgent inkiness as though it was some hand-headed creature; but catching the fierce eyes of the thief--the alarm stayed stuck in my throat. Overcome and lost. Father was very reasonable and did his best to get me to give up the fear which had suffused me. This terror, and the dread that followed became companions.

Shadowing women 
The creak of the bed, on which numerous hopes of a transitory release — a 
small taste of moksha, a fleeting transcendence from the body, achieved in 
the flesh. INTRA. Of aching pudendas stretching shadows to receive the rare beloved 
in many non-encounters. A beloved who belonged elsewhere, to someone else. 
Is this possible?

The spirit is the compelling force from within that exudes to the outside. 
In one who settles or walks seeking a spiritual path, or regards a chosen 
path as being a course of action for ones spirituality—the spirit will 
manifest itself, although it does not simply materialize; nor does it show 
up to make the notion any more real. The notion has to be one of surrender, 
acceptance, a commitment.

Most of what we do is for ourselves. It could be our personal practices as 
in a Way which we practice. In time we begin to see, or must hope to see our 
practices as larger than ourselves, yet nothing more nor less than what we 
thought at first. When our eyes set themselves on something beautiful the 
muscles essentially relax although they pulse. All it movement. When and if 
we see the sublime, our body tautens, the sight evokes awe and fear, even if 
be a tinge of facing the unknown. In both these situations, or if one was 
blessed by such experiences the solitary would perhaps stay in equanimity. 
One cannot decide to be so. Ones being has become such or has to become 
such. To stay in equanimity is to stare at what time places in front of us, 
what it subjects us to. Not stare as in gawk, but stare as in commune, in 
realizing that you are a part of infinitude, and are ready to accept the 
charge handed to you, even if that means knowing that ones time will cease, 
and yet not cease. One may be a long way off from realizing this, but its is 
in our bones. My purpose is to hold hands, and in the rare case to break 
bonds, although I shy from the latter.

We are, “a by-product,” as a good friend of mine says “of a lot of 
productivity”—of productive energy on the part of many others. The spirit is 
the shield and pointing towards salvation. This may come across as a very 
Semitic notion. I see it a little differently; as available to all. We must 
commit ourselves. Not to die, but an acceptance to what lies ahead and 
around; so in that sense committing to death. Much like being in the center 
of centers. You are not seeking death, but seeking your nature. Looking for who 
you are. Being one with the light as it shines upon you, as it awakens you, 
as it awakens us to sensitivities, in awareness.
