The Wheel of Change
By Milton Ehrlich

In homage to Gelek Rinpoche (1939-2017)

I honor my teacher
while his flesh
and bones burn,
who showed me
there is light
in everything,

He taught me
there is only
the present
moment.

Sitting, I follow him
across the earth,
moon, sun, and sky,
and swim alongside him
through the void of space.

I am burning with love.

When it came time
to say goodbye—
tears choked me,
