Transit

Through a 16 cycle breathing pattern
Thich Nhat Hahn leads me down this road of awareness.

The thought of enlightenment at the moment of death is still a thought.
No thought at the final moment is enlightenment.
The thought of no-thought sends me soaring
into a vast wordless and timeless eternity.

Until a passenger asks,
"Weren't we supposed to get off at that last exit?"
