So the sea has gone to take me

Maybe now I'd fell it fall
I tell myself I won't get astray
I believe it's going be hard
So I look across the lake
To a point far out of sight
Over me comes the rain
And I be gone
But then one night
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home
I ain't afraid of leaving
And all those things I left behind
Most of them ain't ment to last
None of them ain't even mine
Too tired of marking time
Giving too much away
Not a single dime is left
So I'm calling better days
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways to go
I'm looking for ways over water
I'm looking for ways back home

The heart of the warrior. Shambala.

 -"At this point, having completely renounced his own comfort and privacy, paradoxically the warrior finds himself more alone. He is like an island sitting alone in the middle of a lake. Occasional ferry boats and commuters go back and forth between the shore and the island, but all that activity only expresses further loneliness, or the aloneness of the island. Although the warrior's life is dedicated to helping others, he realizes that he will never be able to completely share his experience with others. The fullness of this experience is his own and he must live with his own truth. Yes he is more and more in love with the world. That combination of love affair and loneliness is what enables the warrior to constantly reach out to help others. By renouncing his private world, the warrior discovers a greater universe and a fuller and fuller broken heart. This is not something to feel bad about: it is a cause for rejoicing. It is entering the warrior's world"

Shambala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. Chogyam Trungpa.
