can you, do you, live this savage wisdom? by miriam louisa
impossible! see
this ultimate knowingness
isn’t a teaching, a path, a doctrine
one can ‘live’ or embody
(although the earnest peddlers
of nonduality apps
would love you to buy the notion)
you can’t “live this savage wisdom”
it’s what’s living you
and not just when you’re clear and angelic
oh no
it’s living you when you’re a mess:
lost,
confused,
angry,
seducing and story-telling
its play is infinite
it has no preferences;
it loves all that it creates and beholds
and because You and It are inseparable
your recognition of this
is ITs total fulfillment
it’s how IT gets its jollies!
(c’mon, wake up, don’t be a party-pooper!)
