Zen Mode
to be always equal
does not mean
we negate the fragrance
of jasmine or roses
and settle down in stench
amidst decaying flesh
merely to prove a point
as does the Aghori
desire and aversion
no doubt interplay
but rather than overthinking
or making it a forced practice
if we but embrace and release
the flow of life
delighting in joy
stoic in pain
as an orientation
perhaps we are then
living authentically
