God chose what is foolish in human reckoning.
And to shame the strong, what is weak .
And what is not at all threatening.
So that we may all the better seek.

All suffering or dissatisfaction.
Arises from a mistaken understanding .
That we are a separate aberration.
Or distinct self, just existing.

Such was the Buddha’s teaching .
And I feel this too, this sense of selfness.
That imprisons us in aversion and craving.
And  in never ending rounds of selfishness.

We forget  the awareness  loving essence.
Connecting us to all life and acquiescence.

…..

Are we our selfness
Or are :we part of all life
Not confined this way
