Printing Labels for Unlabeled Minds
Like us all,
he was good at naming things,
trees, minerals, the anatomy of rabbits,
butterflies and all things
he saw or imagined he saw.
Later he had an epiphany,
he realized he knew nothing of anything
that walked the earth or grew upon it
or flew above it.
As most seekers do
he sought the advice of a guru.
“Your mother did not love you,
not in just the way you wanted her to love you,
and so, you had to name
all that she was not.
Now you are caught.
go now and un-name yourself!”
He then foolishly,
asked the wise man for his name?
