4752. I WAS STANDING

I WAS STANDING

Now there's no deciding; now there no

'dang' in my danger. I can walk freely where

only before I walked in fear. I went down to the

river, standing just where the light descended, the

crazy voice twisting and running backwards - 'This

is capitulation : the will is of my making.' I was standing.

-

I remain idle at earthquakes and floods. I have nowhere to

go and nowhere to run : for I am already nothing at all.

Renouncing my life was quite simple. This is satori, the

end of desire. My mind's final wish is to understand zero,

to understand zero here where I'm standing.
