The Beauty of Living

By takuin | Published: Wednesday, February 17, 2010
There is a great beauty in this world, untouched by the mind; the beauty of living. It lingers, barely a moment away and is always just beyond the reach of thought. We try to see it, but eyes fail. We try to hear it, but deafness roars. We try to take it, but hands are broken. We try and [...]

To Sit With Nothing

By takuin | Published: Monday, January 4, 2010
Takuin sat in the morning and tried to find its self. Despite all the talk of nothingness, oneness, and liberation, it wanted to see the truth. The sun descended before it finished. Takuin is alone.

Memorie

By takuin | Published: Friday, November 20, 2009
They still think of you sometimes… No matter the distance – in space or time – they’ll remember those unique moments they alone hold close to their hearts. It may have been a word, a moment, a song, a glance, or the touch of your hand to theirs. And it may have passed so quickly, not even [...]

The Day After

By takuin | Published: Monday, September 28, 2009
I recently found, quite by accident, a few words I wrote on December 2nd, 2006, one day after the event of liberation, if that is the right way to say it. I have no memory of writing any of this. It is fairly disjointed, and it seems to have been written all at once, around [...]

The Final Week The last week of the fast held no surprises, and went quickly. Energy was at a constant, even level, [...]

Water Fasting – Final Day

By takuin | Published: Saturday, February 28, 2009
No problems, no problems. I did not fall off the wagon, and it is surprising to think there has been no real food to support this body for the last 28 days. Yet, there is this strange feeling, knowing that I will re-introduce food tomorrow. It is uneasy, and something I must listen to. I’ll [...]

Water Fasting – Day 23

By takuin | Published: Monday, February 23, 2009
Focus has become more steady, and has finally reached a comfortable level of functioning. I think if I were to extend this fast into March, I would not suffer any ill effects due to lack of concentration. But I won’t be doing that. All is very well.
