The Tao Of Lust 1. Into the contemplative lust of Tao Where Me & you & I are now.

2. The higher vacuum of inner uncertainty should be turned inside out.

3. Lust fuss rust.

4. Down in the valley, the hidden plaything the little cock on the pump.

2


5. Oh grab me. Fuss, fuss, don't fuss, oh grab me Fuss, don't fuss.

6. Just a low voice and sex in my peaceful valley, the tao of the valley the tao of sex and low voices grab me in the tao of my valley.

The Tao of Grace Thank a saving given green to come up being harvested late in the scene. Put up, froze, dried till mixed with fresh eaten. Thanks agriculture getting even with the mean The angry gone down the tubes of yams, potatoes, green beans peas, salad greens corn wheat rice, carrots onion, nuts celery, garlic oats everything amidst the bird, the turkey platter It’s hard to be angry if you thank the food for being what it is. Thanks to the food the bird and all the rest Thanks to everything growing with the rest Without you, there is no me. No us. Without us there is little of you so you are bigger than us thanks to the crops, the creeps & the crushed cranberries thanks for the hope that got sparked between us. Grace. 4


Grace says Grace. Thanks for the plants & you & us. You have no face. You certainly are a benefit to the human race as it races towards extinction. Glad we knew you bird trimmings, greens, veggies high powered cooking herbs & spices of the mind. Glad to meet you eat you along our annual way. Thank a saving given in. Thanksgiving in. Thanks giving in.

The Works In the breeze touching me, & the morning sunlight first touching the leaves, plants, hillside, trees earth, here I experience the wakings of God within me of the Tao the Father & the Mother below, the Unity of Nature, exciting itself to speak through the love & rhythm of getting up, the daybreak. All concepts transcend in the actual feeling of the stirrings within, gentling without: it’s as close a I get to my true self that is only to observe & move with the greater reality that is so great it is beyond recognition but glimpses given I can see through myself thru this air flowing, this light making everything possible opening my eyes this day, this working gift.

A Lead In the expression of everything present the now discloses itself. As the circle of Dawn encloses the moon of night. The now is the Tao and the Tao is the God of Serenity. Buddha nature. Understanding love love, understanding. The Creator of energy the Creator of me. The Creator of Nothing, the God of Now. Now who you are. As energy flows in and out. The circle of Dawn discloses the Moon, disappearing. Wake up! “Everything is legible.� I read the day in the Rosy Dawn. Forgive my Guilt so I may move on. And rectify reaffirm 8


give birth to easing other’s pain. Lead me. In efficient work. Lead each step. The work powers the powers at work. May I be there. Here as I go. Lead noteworthy after dawn. May I be there. Here as we go.

Water Way /old man mask Lawrence of the flowers innovator & excavator come to me when the skies were only dreams, advance this world and be part of it. Be part of it and advance this world. Sing daily at the moon descending, the sun rising. Song in the form of prayer, prayer in the form of breathing. Breathing in the form of life. Since everything is tough be silent. The willow in the wind. And thus the ancient Chinese way of Tao began to be. And now the same thing is happening in my spirits: everything has turned to water in my dreams and I wake up at 3 AM and relieve myself it seems.

Spare Nothing Spear the light. Spare nothing. Kill all good. And what do you have? The light unaffected. Good not dead. It is useless to fight against Spirit. Nobody knows what Spirit is except the flow of the Tao. Chi. Elan. The personification of your brother. Your father. Your mother. The personification of your son. Your daughter. Your love. Something holds me together when things are bad. Something pretends to love me. Fiction becomes fact. I don’t fall apart though I can be mean. In fact there is a connection between the dots. I see it now. Something flows in the diagram. The energy of ancient present. A spiritual program comes together if I can just be honest and someone else tells the truth too. Suddenly secrecy lifts from all the spirit of good. Listening lives in love between us.

Meditation of the Infinite Meditation of the infinite contemplation of the minute– what’s the difference? I shont dough. I non’t dough. I don’t Tao it. It don’t show. I don’t know. I don’t Tao. I do dough. I don’t doubt it. I do show. I don’t know.

Harmony of Tao Tao duty dowdy dowdy do Tao dowdy do. Tao does do you and you, you already Tao Tao of Taoisms is Tao is is. Is interior Tao exterior Tao too, Tao one and two inside outside inner inner outer outer, all is Tao you too do Tao. Tao will do do it for you in me, Tao Tao to be more Tao to you you take in Tao breathe it in, the Tao was there before you, Tao pre-Tao was an awfully fine fellow

bowing before the Tao that was his Tao in her as she was of the Tao before him, Mother Tao Tao of the doing that all-doing is of the tao Tao that wasn’t, is, is was and shall be is of Tao, is life happening, what thought do what you say is harmony balance of one and two you are what you are if you realize you are Tao too am I what I am if I realize I am Tao too, self sufficient our identity with Tao life and death nothing can take away what is always there all forms in all experience we are, the Tao why divide from the thought you are already dividing

yourself from the Tao, you have been living in and moving forward all the time as it is the moment the movement is of and in through Tao laughing at the tao within everything basic the ground of Tao increasing wisdom the Tao of Tao, the grace, freedom Tao of Tao freely given and accepted grace of Tao to relax the inner pleasure in itself and all outside breath is the breathing of Tao what is tao just walk on one step at a time is Tao in action one thing undivided in all separate many many many things in movement of yourself

15


is Tao is it not if not is it all in what I watch, see, envision not to be, the mountains are nothing until they are mountains again, the Tao of ordinary world mystery of Tao that teases when you think it out as it is the thinking to think or not think it out, all inner soul heart body finding it has not lost its head is Tao everyone in freedom of no fuss or the most extreme fuss is no fuss Tao in escape from it’s into Tao does do you already Tao that laugh what laugh our laugh is Tao path Tao of no directions all directions up down around centered

16


the beauty of Tao free the circumstance no doubt is now Tao and does do in and through the harmony of you of Tao too.
