simplicity is the beginning
the boiled down--the revealed
how I long for simplicity--not ignorance--simplicity
but peace is bought; not earned
bought like white robes and a new name
it is bought without money
it is bought with everything that I think at some point was mine
how ridiculous
I own nothing
I claim nothing as my own
I am nothing
maybe humility is the beginning
maybe it's the middle too
and maybe at the end of all things...
after I have drunk the cup down to the bottom
I'll find humility--the only thing that won't be burned away
