House

I met this girl this week who is a friends friend, we flirted a couple of times and i thought thats it. Last night we went out and i had a few drinks enough to get drunk. But being there with her was so euphoric that i went from drunk to sober in minutes. I didn't notice it then, as i was surrendering myself to her.(Love? ) We ended at my place cuddling till morning. It was a nice time and i thought that im in control of my actions. Later when she left in hurry, i wondered why?

Then i caught myself in. In a web of building illusions in my head. I didn't even know her last name but i ended building castles and gardens with her. Imagined things, giving feelings to forms. I was so blined by them,that i didn't sleep, eat or drink anything till now.

Anyway here is what comes to me now.

Also, master Xuefeng, on seeing a breeze stirring taro leaves, pointed them out to a student. The student said, “ I am quite frightened.” Xuefeng clucked his tongue and said, “ It’s an event in your own house; why are you afraid?” That student then had an awakening too. Since the whole time is an event in your own house, why don’t you understand? Because you wander off everywhere, you are not at home all the time. But now that you’re facing a teacher, don’t let yourself forget. This is called acting according to reason son, knowing the ultimate within oneself. From birth to old age, it’s just this person; why turn your head and revolve your brains? Each of you look into this on your own.
