"As a Buddhist, you may be able to use the Internet as an exercise. It is in fact a caricature of saṃsāra. Desire, envy, anger, illusion and emptiness are even easier to understand there. If you can learn to see the screen of your cell phone as a kind of complicated lamp where nothing is happening, perhaps you can also understand that the reality in which you live is a kind of openness where really nothing is happening. If you observe how your indignation or your desire arises because your imagination and the rays of light of this intricate lamp work together, you may also be able to observe how your body and the phenomena together bring about the restlessness of your mind."

“At the height of happiness, I have spoken of a music never heard before. So what? If only I could live in a continual state of ecstasy, shaping the body of the poem with my own, rescuing every phrase with my days and weeks, imbuing the poem with my breath while feeding the letters of its every word into the offering in this ceremony of living.”

“The sky is everywhere, even in the dark beneath your skin.”
