Hay-Ku of the Day (Renting Mental Space)

The only "place" I
Have to give anything is 
A "space in my mind."

The only "place" that
I can give anything is 
A "room in my mind."

***
Minding anything
Is renting mental space to
An invited guest.

Paying attention
Is renting mental space to
An invited guest.

***
Renting my mental
Space to anything but God
Gives a devil place.

Renting mental space
To anything but the Light
Gives darkness a place.

***
To entertain a
Negative thought is to give
Place to a devil.

One who entertains 
A carnal state of mind is 
Sleeping with a snake

Re: "**11. Darkness and Light: Darkness is not light's opposite, but its relative absence. It never did or could exist as a substantial reality, in and of it self, capable of opposing light. As such, there never was any real possibility of war between darkness and light, and so any apparent battle is necessarily mock. Extrapolating a bit further, and assuming that goodness arises from the light of understanding and evil from the darkness of ignorance, must we not likewise conclude that any seeming battle between good and evil is also illusionary?" 1993; 9/2002
