[I don’t think of myself
as violent, but]
be yes peaceful
the change in
the world you want
[sometimes I want to
fucking punch things
anything real fucking hard]
but bring some close
friends and fold
yourself in among
the mushti
[something that hurts
something I can feel later
something that can take it]
courage is made body
in a basic mudrā gesture
[something inanimate like
a hardwood door or table]
breathe and focus
on your breathing
every breath a single
instance of eternity
[like I said I’m not
a violent person]
breathe and focus
on your breath
[but….]
