September 14, 1995 (concluded)

leave it to Eckhart
detachment and attachment
links them together

what is detachment
if not ceding attachments
letting go of all

both likes and dislikes
joy, sorrow, honor, disgrace
these and more must go

surrendered at last
nothing left but emptiness
desolation’s home

now the path is forged
solitude...desolation
each day to be lived
