“The process of practice is to see through, not to eliminate, anything to which we are attached. We could have great financial wealth and be unattached to it, or we might have nothing and be very attached to having nothing. Usually, if we have seen through the nature of attachment, we will tend to have fewer possessions, but not necessarily. Most practice gets caught in this area of fiddling with our environment or our minds. “My mind should be quiet.” Our mind doesn’t matter ; what matters is nonattachment to the activities of the mind. And our emotions are harmless unless they dominate us (that is, if we are attached to them) - then they create disharmony for everyone. The first problem in practice is to see that we are attached. As we do consistent, patient zazen we begin to know that we are nothing but attachments : they rule our lives.

But we never lose an attachment by saying it has to go. Only as we gain awareness of its true nature does it quietly and imperceptibly wither away ; like a sandcastle with waves rolling over, it just smoothes out and finally - where is it? What was it?”

You who never arrived
in my arms, Beloved, who were lost
from the start,
I don’t even know what songs
would please you. I have given up trying
to recognize you in the surging wave of the next
moment.
~ Rilke

I just stumbled upon this. Love your blog. This is an especially special piece. What a beautiful connection, and you are all so lucky to have eachother. Those close, close friendships are hard to find, and sometimes hard to keep when life changes come about. Sounds like this one has a lot of honor:-)

and this….

“With a broken heart, you see how vast your longing for love is and, simultaneously, how impossible it is to make love safe. It’s just not possible. So what do you do with these two truths? No one can tell you how to reconcile them. Figuring it out is your path.”

Detail of the Hayfield
by Richard Siken

I followed myself for a long while, deep into the field.
Two heads full of garbage.

Our scope was larger than I realized,
which only made me that much more responsible.

Yellow, yellow, gold, and ocher.
We stopped. We held the field. We stood very still.

Everyone needs a place.

You need it for the moment you need it, then you
bless it–
thank you soup, thank you flashlight–

and move on. Who does this? No one.
