Om

i don't have any poetry, but believe me i am in spired and i've been writing

when you asked me about tantra i should have tried to write it in a poem.

milarepa inspired me into poetry because out of his enlightenment mind come the deepest truths, and it's perfect communication, which is poetry

the poetry under our fingers

i wrote 8 lines, and they were, good, and rhyming

for some reason i have a really high standard to which i'm holding my new poetry

my goal with poetry is to make others happy!

i'll send you some of milarepa's poetry in the next few days.

i realized just now that every single line except for one has the word poetry in it.

you said you felt an irksome feeling, and i think i understand

i want to help you out, because knowing you, you've enriched my world very, very much.

i feel like you are slightly vulnerable, and so what i feel towards you is completely inexpressible.

i think these things over but the only kind of honesty is spontaneous poetry or songs.

mila wrote all of his songs like that.

you know i tasted just a drop of mila's world- his world in the mountains- and it was very enlightening....

what you said about cluster-**** before, do you still remember that? that's what a lot of tantra is about; that kind of thing in our mind.

mila says the best thing is to practice in the mountains for the rest of my life. then he gives in succession what is next best, and next...

i wanted to write you a song about the essential and unessential.

i've just learned this new way of using these words, it's rather interesting.

am i going on too long? well, it will be a great blessing to hear from you if you write me back.

peace truly
yours truly

by the way i might have stolen or i might yet steal your phrase 'perhaps the most powerful weapon is a gun loaded with lotus flowers'. that was very beautiful! actually i'll have to look up exactly what it was.

and i wanted to tell you i feel a lot of spontaneous joy when i read what you write, usually. you give me a feeling of vertigo. i connect you in my mind with the diamond vehicle, which is also close to 'lightning.' i don't know why this is. anyway mila is very close to my heart and i want to see things as he does.

speak of lightness, mila could fly! if the stories are accurate.

so, lightness to you C.

bye
