40 days . . .

[doodlemaier]

40 days on a boat of pairs
40 days under the bodhi tree
40 days in the wilderness
40 days it takes
for a man to dig to the center
beneath the history he claims as his own
40 days to the unspoiled beginning
40 days to enlightened choice
40 days to the Buddha within
40 days to Christ we all are
Oh, for 40 days!

I don't know. I have yet to put in my forty days . . . I have a strong yearning lateely to break off from society, to be isolated with my busted-up knee and a heart full of questions and go find out.

I live in Trafficland, where the spawl just goes on forever. . . I don't think there is an edge. I think the edge as we refer to it exists somewhere in time.
