This holy life is lived for the abandoning of becoming

This world is burning.

Afflicted by contact,

it calls disease a "self,"

for by whatever means it construes [anything],

...that becomes otherwise from that.

Becoming otherwise,

the world is

held by becoming

afflicted by becoming

and yet delights

in that very becoming.

Where there's delight,

there is fear.

What one fears

is stressful.

This holy life is lived

for the abandoning of becoming.
