It’s not an ace in the hole,
it’s  not a way to win in this world,
it can’t be used to gain advantage

When you emerge into the radiance
of the great and tender Allness,
you forget those things anyway,
being so caught up
in the unfolding singularity
of each joy-touched moment,
each amazing new awareness

You won’t be able to look back and measure,
but you won’t care, either,
leaving the false for the true.
