”twilight” of dusk to that of dawn

“But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, 
thou shalt not eat of it:
for in the day that thou eatest therof
thou shalt surely die” 
- Genesis 2:17
(as quoted in “twilight”)

“When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.” From preface to “twilight”

On the preface of twilight
Under the Mahabodi Tree,
 beyond good and evil 
and all other dualities,
In life and death, 
 from which expectations arise
 sits with closed eyes, 
the one who realized.

Subconscient

Beneath wave of sheaf,
Sheaf of wave beneath.
Sheaf upon sheaf upon sheaf 
Beneath. 

None aware,
Of what lurks, 
The depths there.  

Blue above below, 
Mystic sage
Thus armed prays,
That beast of greed and rage,
That he this demon slays.

The Five Hinderances

The only sensual desire, 
  warmth of dhamma luminous light.
The only ill will, 
  suppression of dhamma oppression.
Slothful in the comfort of dhamma,  
Restless in its sharing,
Skeptical of why doubt.  
Hinder the five hinderances of Nibbãna.
