to my wife and teacher

you are the cause
of my leaving the world
and the reason
i stay in it

without you
i would retreat
into reverie
and silence
i have so little interest
in the affairs of the ego
it makes me tired
and yearning for
for stillness

but with you
i am forced
to meet the world
of form
and stay open.

it takes some surfing
but with you
it becomes a game
and i have learned to
cherish
even the most
challenging
of experiences.

you are truly
the greatest
manifestation
of god i have met
and i was so
deeply blessed by
fate or grace
to remember
what is true
through you

i am a man humbled
and opened
with no vestige
of protection
left

you are the cause
of me leaving the world
and the reason
i stay in it
