What not to see.
A system, follow the system,
Follow the trends,
Follow the people with the trends to know other trends,
Peep into their lives through imaginary screens
What is happiness:...

My great challenge for fruitful wisdom paths
is credentialed expertise.

My obstacle to polypathic health
is self-aggrandizing comfort,
cheap ease,
self-sufficiency,
detachment.

Obstacles to resilient compassion
have more to do with impatient "kindness"

to who I am not
to my anger and resentment

to my contempt of self and others.

Imprisoning textures
and routine lectures
in loneliness,

"your own fault"
"not Other's loss"

blame
shame
dipolar co-arising

communication resource-fullness,

And yet,
     and yet,

Beneath such reasonable busyness,
when I can sustain
opulent...
