Buddha's power is to show you the way.
To point out the roadblocks in your mind.
And to help you uncover the deadened things
that conceal your Beloved nature.
There are temptations that trip you up and land you flat on
your face. It happens time and time again in the dark.
Sometimes it's because you're missing the Sun.
You're daydreaming about what was or could be.
These are hindrances that keep you mixed up.
