Laughing Buddha

When I broke open

Buddha broke open.
And neither of us has
been the same since.

In an instant we

fell into each other laughing

and neither one of us survived.

But still the sun shines in the morning

and sets in the evening.

I am like a friendly old dog now
wearing my master's night slippers.
Yet somehow

they fit perfectly.

~Adyashanti

(for You... who always makes me laugh... and disappear...)
