GROUND SQUIRREL & THE FLYING SKULL
A New Years Diptych Epistle 2025-2026
By I. Nonself Collectenea

IF
I AM
THE FLYING SKULL
AND YOU ARE
THE GROUND SQUIRREL

THEN
HOW WILL YOU SEE WHAT YOU NEED?
HOW WILL YOU HEAR WHAT YOU NEED?

The Flying Skull is out there,
For A House on Fire,
Arching Upward in the Moonlight,
Evading a dismal perpetuance of cliches.

The Flying Skull is working alone.

The Flying Skull is working with the device.

The Flying Skull is working with the object.

The Flying Skull’s vision making light,
Then the spoken word is The Way.

Who will be able to talk to Ground Squirrel?

The Flying Skull,
Accesses an amazing view.
Those Seekers of a clean perception,
Those Makers of a pure site.

The Flying Skull loves Ground Squirrel,
But has to be the 2nd Path.
The Operator of the Machine,
A fierce compassionate storm,
Of oil, metal and water.

Chaos tells the Ground Squirrels,
Make no enemies,
Duck and cover,
Stay hidden with light overhead.

A WISE PERSON MAKES COMPASSION
OUT OF DIFFICULT EXPERIENCES
SO MAY I RECOGNIZE EXPERIENCES
AND BECOME COMPASSIONATE WISDOM.

The engine of great knowing seeks the wisdom of care,
The engine of great knowing seeks the recognition of compassionate being
and is concerned for the well being of others.
Natures Wisdom and Concern for Earth Mother,
From the seat of the racing oil machines.

Now without fear Flying Skull,
Recognition with dry eyes,
Managing beliefs.

Our powers that tremble,
Why worry the condition,
Now what more can be done?

Always wondering,
Are you with me somehow Ground Squirrel?

IF
THE LAMA PRAYS TO STAY AND RETURN
UNTILL ALL SENTIENT BEINGS ARE FREE
FROM THE SUFFERING OF SAMSARA

THEN
AM I REALLY ALWAYS LEAVING IT WITH YOU?
