john.e.o's blog

dreams of moving beyond novice status.  i know the moves, yet they are not yet instantly reflexive.  proficiency with a stick.  on the lower ground moving backwards.

i imagine a jet of water shooting up into the air.  at the point where it falls back into itself i place an image of john.e.o.  we have an unspoken agreement.  i pretend to believe in the you you want to believe in and you do the same for me. 

the fragile surface tension that holds us all together seems so permanent because of how fully we work within its bounds.

can one person be everything to you?

i think yes.

and that person is everyone.

the divine pleasure of eating becomes so much more sublime when you let yourself get hungry.

the best way to not care about getting really dirty is already being really dirty.
feeling dirty doesn't come from dirt.

take this at face value. i'm really only talking about getting dirty.

monkey mind monkey mind monkey mind monkey mind
monkey mind monkey mind get off my back.

do you have the merit to stick it out?  what motivates you to get out of bed every day?

my lama told me to teach.  i think if i had a stack of students depending on me to save them, directly, immediately, i might jump out of bed instead of hitting snooze two times. 

just swing the hammer.  one nail at a time. 

i think plumbing is a deep inner body practice.
