The Four Reminders drive to work #4

#4
Samsara
Is an ocean of suffering,
Unendurable,
Unbearably intense.

my drive is so beautiful, car is so comfortable
people ahead of me
driving like idiots, driving so slowly,
i must get to work!
sit at my computer, continue to wish that
i was somewhere other, anywhere else.
this is samsara, like frogs on hot asphalt,
have to keep jumping, grab any distraction,
or else it's too painful, until i remember
i'm lucky to be here at all
however impermanent

#1
Joyful to have
Such a human birth,
Difficult to find,
Free and well-favored.
