detachment

Wednesday, August 09, 2006

Brooding about sensuous objects makes attachment to them grow;
from attachment desire arises,
from desire anger is born.
From anger comes confusion;
from confusion memory lapses;
from broken memory understanding is lost;
from loss of understanding, he is ruined.

-Bhagavad Gita, 2nd Teaching, stanzas 62 & 63

eto na ang bago kong motto in life ngayon. YES. naku, baka magpaconvert na ko to Hinduism. JOKE lang. :p

at eto pa. so painful, kaya dapat maging detached.

a perfect circle.three libras

threw you the obvious and you flew
with it on your back, a name in your recollection,
thrown down among a million same.

difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed
and passed over
when i've looked right through
to see you naked and oblivious
and you don't see me.

but i threw you the obvious
just to see if there's more behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
the eyes of a tragedy.

here i am expecting just a little bit
too much from the wounded.
but i see through it all
and see you.

so i threw you the obvious
to see what occurs behind the eyes
of a fallen angel,
eyes of a tragedy.

oh well.
apparently nothing.
you don't see me.
you don't see me at all.

... at ayun, sadly (or rather, surprisingly) manonood kami ng sukob nila gia at moreen. oo, napilit akong manood. oh well. eto na. exciting! LFS ito. tapos babasahin ko yung Cubao Midnight Express, yun na! ito ang aking reward sa aking sarili sa pagiging detached lalo na kanina noong natapos ko ang math exam nang kulang sa pag-aaral. maaabot ko na si Brahman. Malapit na, malapit na...
