THE HORSE-STORY
What I realize
Is that the real goal about being
On this three-dimensional rock
Isn’t about dressing up our life
(although you can have some temporary
fun and sorrow playing
with the contrast of that idea)
It’s really about
Awakening from what you THINK
Is your life.
We know nothing
Since everything we say we know
Ultimately ends up to be NO-THING.
This earthly dreamscape is a
“Now you see see it, now you don’t” experience.
The illusion of my personal identity
Is comparable to one of Nasruddin’s stories
Of a man on a horse
Galloping at great speed through a village.
A person who saw him passing asked,
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
The man answered,
“I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the horse.”
Our personal identities are like the horse
With a will of its own,
Until we wake up
To who we say we are
What we THINK we are doing
Where we are going,
What is guiding us
And thus begin to,
Regain being master of the horse.
This is what rewriting our story is all about
Especially when we realize
The story we are ultimately living and writing
Is literally and metaphorically
“Out of this world.”
