Sage of Inner Fire

Cloaked in silence but walks with thunder
Sutras in one hand and data in the other
Desire is not danger but a spark for insight
Dwells in forest hermitage and city cafe
Where he chants not just to gods
But also to the code
A life that is modest but ample
Some indulgence in random sample
Beautiful state in ground abundance
Having enough with some allowance
To give
To receive
And to conceive

Commentary: I feel like a union of a scholarly monk and a tantric practitioner – not the intersection but a union where I span the entire spectrum. I can sit with my sutras and data at the same time – holding both my prayer beads and my tablet at the same time.
