What are you doing
when you lose all track of time,
and it could be yesterday
or tomorrow,
and you aren't sure of the month?

You need to do more of that.

And, if you don't know
what I'm talking about,
you need to completely revamp
your relationship with yourself
and with your life,
take up the practice
of the right kind of emptiness
(The emptiness between breaths
when you are concentrating 
on your breathing),
stillness
and silence,
and follow your inclinations
and impulses more often.

Living at the mercy of our 
curiosity,
intrigued by the incongruous,
the out-of-place,
the incompatible,
the strange,
obtuse,
opaque,
foreign,
an enigma,
a veil--
yet, somehow, attractive,
inviting,
engaging,
compelling,
fascinating...
is our hope
and our salvation.
