In the Know
There is no emptiness in nothing, if you drink nothing with all your might.
Orders I took that had never been given to me ruled me most of my life. We must not hear words never spoken, we must obey only those directives that issue straight from our hearts.
I am the shell of the man I once was. Hallelujah! Am I now the man of which I will soon be a shell? Does awareness of phenomena destroy phenomena? Does knowledge destroy phenomena? Knowledge of awareness? Phenomena? Oh, when I am rid of that shell, then you can kiss my ass!
There are those in the know with no control, and those in control with no knowledge.
Which is more desirable?
Those in control, wanting knowledge, seek to control it.
Those in the know, not wanting knowledge, seek to give it up.

Mindless Gallery Chatter
My friends told me so much about you. You sound like such a wonderful guy, so generous, open-minded, genuine, and benevolent, but when I look into your eyes, I see emptiness, not a meditative, eternal emptiness, but a deliberate emptiness, as if you want to shut me out, as if somehow you won’t see me even while you look at me and talk to me with your Chardonnay breath and feet constantly moving as though your shoes are too tight and your heels are blistered. Are my friends blind?
