I do all of this hoping she’ll see me

Most days the knot stays tied

Not all days

Some straws draw out hope

When the knot slips

Stupid superstition

But the only one I get

If our thoughts do align

If perchance I’m on your mind

Don’t let me tie another knot

In a stupid fucking straw rapper.

Come back home,

Come what may

[mrduplisity]

But I never want to be this anymore

Stretch the bottle two days

With the change

Still stumbling round living room floors

When you forget

You forget to hurt

Pick still don’t choose where it burns

The thing about summer is

The thing about summer is

That first

Bit

Of sunshine

And how it hits you

The thing about summer is

That first

Drive

Windows down

And how it hits you

The thing about summer is

That first

Beer

With the boys

And how it hits you

The thing about summer is

For just

A moment

You’re young again

And you love how it hits you

When we feel emotions arising like anger, shame, jealousy, we often will think that we are the ones reacting. As we gain clarity in our spiritual practice, we come to see that this is the ego.

The trick is to remember that we aren’t reacting to the ego, the ego is reacting to itself. You don’t have to stop your reaction, because it’s not coming from you. It’s coming from conditioned behaviors and beliefs.

Observe this. Ego plays with ego. Know yourself as the one who sees this.

Why can’t we give love one more chance?
