The opening quote is from a Tibetan Buddhist meditation on dying
as found in Sogyal Rinpoche's Book on Living and Dying.
"As I leave
this compound body
of flesh and blood
I will know it to be
a transitory illusion."
Could transitory
embodied illusions
become mindbody gateways
toward transitional systemic illumination?
Could hybrid mind/bodies,
sacred/secularized thoughts,
spiritual/naturalized neurological feelings
of attachment
to harmonic self/other resonance
ego/eco-perpetuating
inside/outside climates of peace
restoring Earth Justice CoAttachment
also become CoOperative sensory experience
of Integrity's Universal Promise?
Could climax of death's Yang loss
also predict Yin's deeply seeded memory
of passionate fulfillment
as inevitably healthy DNA's redevelopment
peacefully, and yet relentlessly, seeding
rooting
breeding
wanting
needing
ungrasping
kneading
egging
bleeding
longing
belonging
edging both in and out
through all past pain and passion people
of Earth's passionate Yang
(compassionate Yin)
Win/Win Promise of enlightened/empowering Earth
Future health-wealthiest Creations
of body-flesh and mind-nurturing blood,
together known to be
Here in space,
Now in conscious bilateral time,
transitional bicameral systems
of Yang loves
what Yin needs
Yang compassion
empowering illuminations.
As I live
this compound body
of flesh and blood
I know and feel me to be,
and yet become,
a Transitional Illumination.
