TSK instructor, Ken McKeon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poem seemed to hint at something Rinpoche once said\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153In our struggles to arrive at our goals and fulfill our wishes, we have taken so many steps, formed so many intentions\u00e2\u20ac\u201dall without lasting results. Now we want to proceed differently. Instead of striking out yet again, we can simply take a deep breath of fresh air. In one sense, nothing special has happened. Yet new life is coursing through the body. The eyes open wide, and we are ready to see in a new way. Instead of seeing what presents itself before us, we see the light of the presentation. Seeing light, we become light. In accord with a logic that outdoes the logic of identity and existence, seeing becomes being, and we enter light everywhere.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d

ENJOYMENT AIR
\n\tBy Ken McKeon<\/p>\n

There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a bit of sense, a token way,
\nIn bringing in some ease,
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not just a matter
\nOf calming down,
\nThough dullness does have its charms,<\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more like stepping into a busy room,
\nAnd not adding to the chatter,
\nJust listening to the texture,
\nHearing in the quick draws of breath,
\nAnd feeding in your mind until
\nThat very breath is yours,<\/p>\n

From then on it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like skating on air,
\nIt\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that graceful, that much fun,
\nAnd when the breath within
\nShows as a really open space,
\nEnter it beyond yourself,
\nThe astonishing ease will shine still more,<\/p>\n

By now, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be off checking for your baggage,
\nDid it get through, in what shape, anything lost, anything gained,<\/p>\n

That just keeps going on, so what, never mind,<\/p>\n

The various tags appear of various bags,<\/p>\n

They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re going nowhere, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re just traveling
\nOn radiant whim alone-<\/p>\n

En Joy Ment Air,<\/p>\n

Quite an airline, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
