There is a way of loving not attached to what is loved.
Observe how water is with the ground,
always moving toward the Ocean,
though the ground tries to hold the water's foot
and not let go.
This is how we are with wine and food,
wealth and power, or just a piece of dry bread.
We want and we get drunk with wanting,
then the headache and the bitterness afterward.
These prove that the attachment took hold
and held you back.
Listen carefully. You have within you a deciding force that knows
what to receive, what to turn from.
