A beautiful collection of poetry by Billy Doyle, a long time student of Jean Klein and yoga teacher in the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism.

This I-image, the ego, is no more than a collection of shifting ideas and experiences, with no independent reality. In taking ourselves to be a separate entity we have come adrift from our homeground, and inevitably fear and desire arise. In compensation we pursue happiness and security and try to escape pain and sorrow.”
