Where the arrow goes in

Where the arrow goes in

Remember to be tender

Take the arrow out if you can

Or as the Buddhists say

If you see an arrow headed your way

Use your intention to turn it into a flower

Watch as it transforms

With the clear light of your attention

And falls to the ground at your feet

Think carefully

About what may have made someone

Want to take out their bow and arrow

In the first place

Who knows if the arrow wasn’t meant

To wake you up

To something
