Greg Penn ‘Lumps of Destiny’ Go into the question of what love is End belief, hope and fear Attend with heart and mind Die to everything you know Go beyond the word and seeing Question everything Die to everything of yesterday Reject inward authority More than an occasional spark of joy Not impose on anyone or anything Don’t go where it’s familiar You are a receptacle for happiness Present in all things Calm over chaos A flash in an empty mind Subtle feelings Tranquility Stop without stopping

Not above nature or this world The end of thought Beauty stillness and quiet No need for theory The composite and dissoluble nature of things Everything becoming something else The world need not be thus, the world need not be at all Not to banish delight Sudden awareness No facts can explain Just below the surface No need to go anywhere No mental content Blur all distinctions and boundaries Feel with the whole body not just the mind No separation in light and self A dreamless sleep Composed of rhythm Withdraw from things and never leave
