"Pre-emptive Strike"

Imagine a thousand squadron of Iranian
Air Force jets flying low over New York,
Atlanta, and Cedar Rapids.
Over the Napa Valley and Crawford, Texas.
Persian Stealth bombers flying low
under the radar, dropping a million
copies of Hafiz, on America, simply for love.

joe zarantonello or mr. z as i grew up knowing him has been an important teacher on my spiritual path...he currently runs a spiritual retreat in the woods of kentucky...learn more about him here: www.looseleafhollow.com ...and buy a copy of his poetry book...only a few pages in and i had tears in my eyes...green bamboo is the title...the product of thirty years of meditation



spirituality of kung fu

attempting to teach martial arts is beginning to reveal its power in revealing the shadow of the ego as well as the necessity to dissolve the ego in order to better teach the student...
the desire to have only this dualistic perspective of win or lose in a battle sets up an endless drama of pain rather than growth...
but an approach of playfulness allows enough comfort to slip into the struggle and out of the attachment to it...to take winning and losing as the same...to became a master of the present moment...at play and at one...



love is a symbiote...(aka symbiont)

I was having a very similar conversation with one of my 'teachers' just the other day. How wonderful to have those ideas echoed here in cyberspace.

thank you!
