No Fixed Address – Absolute Freedom
“One form of the ascetic Christian life is called foolishness for the sake of Christ. The fool-for-Christ set for himself the task of battling within himself the root of all sin, pride. In order to accomplish this he took on an unusual style of life, appearing as someone bereft of his mental faculties, thus bringing upon himself the ridicule of others. In addition he exposed the evil in the world through metaphorical and symbolic words and actions. He took this ascetic endeavor upon himself in order to humble himself and to also more effectively influence others, since most people respond to the usual ordinary sermon with indifference.”
my childhood consisted,
of a series of visits,
i’m not the product of a broken home,
my home never existed,
my home,
was never in existence,
now i’m living, as if
i'm addicted to getting evicted,
because,
it’s only when I’m dislodged,
and shifted,
that i get relief,
from unceasing home sickness;

21 Jewels of Awareness
There is a marvellous world beyond this world, known as the World of Sorcerers – dazzling in its splendour and permeated with a power that is awesome. But to enter that world is insanity for anyone who does not hold the keys. Sought-after by many throughout the ages, this world derives its name from the fact that its matter has become embedded with the remains of would-be sorcerers who did not possess the required keys. (Aphorism 295)
ThÉun Mares
The keys to the world of sorcerers are twenty-one jewels, reflecting a light that is lethal to the ignorant. But whoever has the power to hold these keys is master of the World of Sorcerers and may enter and exit that world safely and at will. (Aphorism 296)

i’m a thirty year old misfit,
on social assistance,
living
in a tramp hotel,
in the cities seediest district;
living among,
warlocks and witches;
it makes some religious,
it made me anarchistic,
it makes us both yearn,
to return,
to a never-existent state,
of terrific;
i get glimpses,
when i transcend
the limits,
move in a way
that proves
nothing is true,
everything is permitted!
whether i'm depicted
as a wandering mystic
or
a fucking statistic,
i’ve always known
my life
of burning bridges
and buying bus tickets,
was a journey home
to a time and place
that never existed
in existence.
living without attachments isn't a spiritual practice,
it’s just what happens after everything collapses,
a hundred thousand fucking times.
