Entry 656

Wash yourself of all wanting.
Ownership is a burden.
Burglars want what you own.

Your belongings will become dust.

When you are on the road to your final resting
will you still cherish every pair of shoes?

Romantics want what they cannot hold.

Longing for lovers is pointless.
Someone will put you in the ground
whether they want to or not.


I did not want these words.
