KOAN

walking without tracks
I moved

beneath a torn sky
lame of light

passing the lacquered skull
bonded to its talisman’s
forgery

finding shamans
with blunt knives
eating the blame

watching
each sacred breath
tarnish bodies
aging fates

gaunt thieves hover
keyless
before nirvana

I enter
through the single crack
where
paradox explodes

unveiling

The Hidden way

A very good description of Koan, though the way to that doorway means an act of letting go, this is the hardest thing to learn. It is having complete faith in the unknown and how many will do that.
My wife did deep trance for many years and it is not only hard but can be dangerous without the correct people around you.
Now to do this alone really takes some doing..
Do you partake of this thing we call trance, ???
