Walking home at night,
smell of flowers in the air.
Hands and hearts are joined.

The Self Still Rules (double haiku)

I’m meditating!
Then, after that, feeling proud.
The Self reigns supreme.

“Congratulate me!”
The Self rules even where it’s
not supposed to be.

Meditation goals!
Feeling proud of the self as
delusions strengthen.
