SEE IF THEY WET THEIR PANTS
The words Guru, Swami, Super Swami, Master, Teacher, Murshid,
Yogi, Priest,
most of those sporting such a title are
just peacocks.
The litmus test is:
hold them upside down over a cliff for a few hours.
If they don't wet their pants
maybe you found a real
one.

gee, i just found you and now i have to miss you? are you coming back to the etherspace? or is real life too pressingly real? i can relate.
It's still not too late to come back...
Aww, thank you all very much. I'm not a very good blogger in terms of making friends or being part of a community, I've sort of treated this like a journal, so I'm touched that somebody was actually reading... Yes, real life got to be rather real, or rather, writing about it all the time was perhaps affecting the reality of my life... Anyway, the poetic angst shall continue.
