Joke

 

Enlightenment is

a divine joke.

Which is why

the wise fall down

in uproarious laughter.

Yearn for who you are.

Beg for what you have.

The whole path dances

in the stillness of

the final step.

Waylessness plays

with your death.

And if your teacher

is not a trickster,

you've been tricked!

Now let her lead you

far off trail,

into the wilderness

of your heart.
