— Lao Tzu

The ego is a monkey
catapulting through the jungle:
Totally fascinated
by the realm of the senses,
it swings from one desire
to the next, one conflict to the next,
one self-centered idea to the next…
If you threaten it,
it actually fears for its life.
Let this monkey go.
Let the senses go.
Let desires go.
Let conflicts go.
Let ideas go.
Let the fiction
of life and death go…
Just remain in the center,
watching… And then forget
that you are there…
