About the Author:
I write humor, lots of it. Book after book after book of nonsense. I was raised by itinerant vacuum salesman along the rim of the dustbowl territories in New Guinea. I grew up large and strong achieving some notoriety as a cattle wrestler. I then settled into an occupation as a wood tradesman and have been known to whittle entire oak trees down into a life-size replica of an acorn...

Relax-x-x-x ; It’s Only an Illusion
Jim George Burtles
Jim George Burtles
“What on Earth do you mean; ‘It’s only an illusion’?
And what exactly is this particular IT?”
“Yes, you are quite right; there is no confusion,
There really is no singular or particular It.
If it all seems to be something of the same,
Then why bother ourselves with lots of details,
Is it really necessary for it to have a name,
Better to just feel what the big picture entails.
Why not let yourself relax and lose the focus,
Take the Zennic view of peace, harmony and flow.
Ignore the intimate detail and all the hocus pocus
Savour those moments of peace, then let them go.”
“All very well for you to drift off into space
But it’s not so easy for someone in my place.
I feel the need to hang on to what I know is right,
Maybe that’s why I am always so damned up tight.”
“When you are stuck in the rigid Western stance
One is wary of the mysterious Eastern trance.
But these Buddhists have learned a thing or two
Which might just help the likes of me and you.”
