"We're all here for a little while.
Let's try to work it out."
Rodney King
"To me, everything terrible in the world
stems from people
trying to force their ideas and beliefs
on other people."
Ed Hardy
"Just become quiet, still and solitary -
and the world will offer itself to you
to be unmasked; it has no choice.
It will roll in ecstasy at your feet" -
Franz Kafka

The Ego is fighting for it's life.
Your best interests are not it's goal.
It makes you
"just not want to"
do just the things that will set you free.
You free = ego death;
and that feels real good
and it feels just right-
as the ego shivers in it's grave,
starved of striving
and regret.
So hush little ego
don't you cry
I will defeat you, by and by
to live Here,
Now
without gut's regret.
Bravely
matter-of-fact-ly
in the glory
of my own
sunset.

The death of Ego is one of those universal truths that you will find in the Bible, krishna, Buddha, Shinto, and many other tenants of reality, except or secular humanism.
ReplyDeleteAnd is that ED HARDY the same ED HARDY pro wrestler?
Thanks - I think I needed this today.
ReplyDeleteI know. Oh, that we were all enlightened spirits. Ego creeps up in the most unexpected places - like in blogging. I recognize it, yet I love getting those ego strokes via comments. My inner battle surges on. Ego is winning.
