I know how but I can’t do it
I know how but I can’t do it

At Virginia home
(1)
Nothing goes before
Nothing comes after
High in the middle of deep space
Entertained by the empty cloud
The bright full moon seems to have no idea where she is heading ...
(2)
Led by ignorance
Chased by myriad afflictions
Low, down, and under the heavy Shadows cast by the karmas
My precious “I” is in pain
(3)
Seen by no one
Heard by no one
Approached by no one
Who knows the language of gnosis and love to carry on
A deep, unceasing conversation
That takes me directly
To the home of my own Anatman.
(4)
Yes, my dear friend,
You did hear me correctly
I am alone
No one sees me...
(5)
Lashed by the craving in the relentless silence
I see myself as so feeble and thus somewhat scared
Come on! Find a way and be free!
In silence, I heard these words more forcefully and precise than ever before
(6)
Looking up the moon
I think of nothing
But deeply wish
I could wrap myself in that gentle light
See myself illuminating and disentangled...
(7)
Yes, I can assure you
With my heart fragmented
I know exactly the path that I need to take,
to change the course of my bleak destiny
But, I can’t do it!
(8)
Alas! my gorgeous noble lady moon,
Please lend me the sky, the bed
Upon which you rest with bliss
Alas, my dearest noble lady moon
Please teach me how to see
And sleep in my own sacred bed of Anatman!
Oh, my most beautiful noble lady moon
Please train me how to deal with my earthly existence
Like the way you make the empty clouds entertain you
with their laughter of compassion!
