Poem: Fear at the Wheel
Let´s be honest.
Let´s feel the fear.
Let´s be in awe with the mystery.
Look inside
and find the weeping boy
who wants to become a Buddha.
He´s craving for the love
only you can give.

The little boy is fear that wants to be seen. It´s not a king, a monster or a devil. It´s a little weeping boy.
The craving to want to become a Buddha is fear driven.
Sorry. I may have misread your comments.
My reading of it was... while he may be wanting to be a Buddha, he was craving for love.
Thanks for the clarification.
Oh my god that little boy saying “hush” is away.
And theres a “wheel” in his place…
Is it still? Is it moving, or is it just about to move …?may be , Like a tiger just about to pounce….I am going bonkers and being rendered speechless, just looking at that wheel!! Let me try again…
Wake up you lazy mind, and get one line out of you, didnt I give you morning coffee!!! wake up and ..what do you say???? What ???
“One more rascal has found how to be still when moving and move in stillness!”….
"the stillness in movement and the movement of stillness"
Ohhh….Just shut up stop lecturing, it could be it was so even before!, And I am seeing it only now..thanks to that wheel ! Lucky I don’t listen to you… allways,,,
imagine what would have happened if I typed…”one more rascal has found how to be still when moving and move in stillness”! ahh? So shut up and I will try it myself…mmm...
let me take a look at that wheel! It’s a bit facing to the side , like saying I am ready to move…(better watch out "craving"/"fear" in life, or you could get crushed, so stay away!).. Mmm,.what is happening? There is a thrill , just looking at it, and......mmmmmmm... OKAY I GIVE UP!
One more rascal has found how to be still when moving and move in stillness! And God knows when!
hello arjen,
I was referrin to someone else chief!, but anyway
your line :
>>> "the craving to want to be a buddha is fear driven" is
so brilliant. what absolute clarity!
you not only distingushed bewteen craving and want and also got to the root of it in one stroke!
I find it to be no short of any enlightenment!
That you are able to see the "bond" so clearly also means you are also free of the bond.
because seeing that bond happens(can happen) only in true light( enlightenment)
using your own words arjen, its for you now to get it , if already not gotten it!
regards arjen
Wouldn't Buddha
have told him
that his craving
for love
was the source
of his suffering?
Or are you
working with
the presumption that
some cravings are
suffering-free?
