The Drunken Eye

April 25th, 2008 by don hagelberg · No Comments

Category: Poem of the Day

In Memory of Li Po,

My Drunken Bodhisattva

Buddhist bamboo stands strong

Yet sways flexible right or wrong.

Resisting breaks the stalk,

Surrendering, giving-in creates paths.

Scientific, philosophic, theologic

Thoughts do not reveal my walk.

How I am to exist.  What I am to do.

How I am to live and for what I am to die.

The other whispers, “The drunken ‘I’.”

The Other whispers, “The drunken ‘I’.”
