The yoga instructor said

meditation was not focusing

rather was emptying out which

in turn would bring back good focus

so dispense with everything

to get something later like a

futures derivative.

 

If there’s a place we came

from, why did we come and

why would we get away from

here without finishing the job

that we might’ve been sent for

and if there’s nothing like that

why would we bother about

the focus— in or away?

 

What good is a village full

of renegades or rather

villages filled with renegades

who belong, or think they do,

to some other village?

 

The astute ones aim for

nothing, look for nothing

buried under the undercurrent

of finding everything

that’s worth working for;

so you become nothing

visible like the air, you

rise and pervade and

become everywhere.
