Passion's a good, stupid horse that will pull the plough six days a week if you give him the run of his heels on sundays. but love's a nervous, awkward, over-mastering brute; if you can't rein him, it's best to have no truck with him.

Horse Essence Play
There is a story in zen circles about a man and a horse. the horse is galloping quickly, and it appears that the man on the horse is going somewhere important. another man standing alongside the road, shouts, «where are you going?» and the first man replies, «i don't know! ask the horse!» this is also our story. we are riding a horse, and we don't know where we are going and we can't stop. the horse is our habit energy pulling us along, and we are powerless.

I don’t smoke, although it looks fantastic in films. but i light matches on those thinking blank nights when i crawl my route out onto the roof of the garage and the sky while my parents sleep innocent and the lonely cars move sparse on the faraway streets, when the pillow won’t stay cool and the blankets bother my body no matter how i move or lie still. i just sit with my legs dangling and light matches and watch them flicker away.
