Proverbs of Heck (38)

Say what you see, not what you know; but don't
believe it until you feel it. Intuitive
knowledge sees through time, speaks through silence,
and acts because. The Paiute shaman took no
offense at the Indian poker game; instead,
he pointed to the feather in his hat and laughed
as he slowly disappeared. True awareness
is solemn laughter. The rain falls on the tracks
we leave. A hungry stomach is the barking of dogs.
Wisdom comes like the wind over buffalo grass.
It takes a thousand voices like the stars.
Ask questions from your heart to see lightning
in your mind. Step lightly in the spring but pack
an ax. The old rabbit jumps; there is no death.
