Labels burning...












 


That

Which cannot be described

Seems often to be labeled

Nothing..as

Nothing synonymous with

Everything..as

Already this..

All labels burning as

They are applied...🔥

Bits and Pieces...


 











Pointers..

All words appear

As pointers..

Pointing to that

Which is already

The pointing...


Colors

Are infinitely varied

They're seemingly

What's happening...


Travel

Often undertaken to

Find the new..

While the new

Is what seems happening...


It's language

Which may seem

To build the edges..

Nothing with 

Impossible edges..


Perspectives

With no separation

Are the magic

Of the impossible...


Stories which

Are not empty

Are believed apparently

With desperation...

The weather..

 







The weather

Shields and un-shields

The sun

Apparently..

What if a concept arose:

The sun appears as the weather?

Seems a good story..perhaps

As good as the same story

Using other words...

Word of the year..Merriam Webster

 













Polarization

Word of the year

Separation up front..

Separation appears

In love and war..in

News headlines and

These words..

Seemingly what is

Until appearance 

Reveals what isn't...


Resonate

The word 

May be used to try

To de-conceptualize

A message presented..

Yet no word 

Can do that..

Each word is a

One word story

In which the

Storied split

Shows up again...



  • Polarization
  • Demure
  • Fortnight
  • Totality
  • Resonate
  • Allision
  • Weird
  • Cognitive
  • Pander

Nothing: the sought of all seeking...


 










Nothing

Is conventionally

Dismissed..the

Missing solidity

Is ignored in favor

Of the solidity

Of all experience..

Yet the dismissed

Is the sought of all

Seeking..an eternal

Story of nothing...

Storyteller unknown..

 













Words

Seem to arise

Declaring independence

Naming everything

Which cannot be named..

An amazing story

Storyteller unknown...

Life and death in words written..




 










Reading past writings

With lack of recognition..

Just the rising

Of those words..

Many seem strange indeed

Words rising and gone

Life and death in the 

Strokes of the keys...

Friday, December 6, 2024

Back on the shelf..


 











A story

Of edges blurring

Distinctions dwindling

Nothing on the horizon..

A journey with a view

Fading fast..

Putting the book

Back on the shelf...

The key to the castle..














This

Is nothing..

It may 

Seem to be

Something

But that

Something 

Has always

Been nothing..

The key to

The castle...

Death and life are not separated..


 











Death and life

Are not separated..

Although there are

Appearances which

Seem to demur

In storyland

In which this

Story appears...

Sunday, December 1, 2024

Paradox..

 












Paradox

May seem a gift

Of a story containing

Paradox..its

Impossibility may be

Discarded or

Suddenly embraced..

No explanation but

Perhaps resonance and

Gratitude...


Paradox

Is a story

Of dissonance 

Perhaps ending

An illusion of

Separation...


"The paradox is that the seeker seeking freedom is itself the root of bondage. "

~Emily Snow

Words as already complete..

 













Words

May seem to 

Cut and slice

Or even break

What is already

Complete..

Until those

Words themselves

Appear as

Already complete...

Freedom not understood..

 











All we have are stories

Amazing stories.. Why?

Despite no-separation

Stories reply with a

Playlist of separation..but

Stories may have a secret

A paradoxical pointing

To no-separation..

Which may seem as

Freedom not understood...

Abandon ship..??

 













Nothing

Appears as 

Everything..

Some might say

Separation is

In that concept..

How about:

Everything

Is already

Unknowing..?

Still seems to

Be that 

Separation..

Abandon ship..?



Sonnet 18..a non-dual Sonnet..













Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed.~~

But thy eternal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,

Nor shall Death brag thou wand’rest in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st.

 So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

~~Shakespeare, Sonnet 18

A story of being alone..


 












Alone..

Freedom appears as

Stories of being

And not being

Alone...

Already..

 













Already

Is the story

Of no-time..

Of not-yet

For the seeker

Longing for

Already...

Wednesday, November 27, 2024

Reminders of stories...


 











Reminders

Photos and words

Of stories of

Long ago may seem as

Beginnings and endings

In the dream of living...

Not bound or unbound..


 











Life's restrictions

May seem as a

Binding of freedom..

But  to consider:

Unbounded freedom

Appearing as 

Bound and unbound...

There is no more..


 










What appears

Makes no sense

Because what appears

Is everything already

Including the question:

What could be more..?


Death as life..


 











Disrepair and disorder

In an image or story

Make it appear as  an

Outcome of  before..

With no before these are

Arisings displaying

Death as life

Life as death...

A hint of the beauty of everything..


 











The search may

Appear as beautiful

With the trappings of

Artful decoration

Cathedrals and settings..

Perhaps a special beauty

Or a hint of the

Beauty of everything...


Something missing..


 











Something missing
Seems to be our lot
Living as we do in
Seeming separation..
Shocking and not
To find no finder
To find something
Is or is not missing...

Pathways remind us we are not yet there..

 









Pathways

Are the guides

Appearing in life

Which remind us

We are not yet there..

Or that the pathway

And the there are

Already here...


Peeling paint..




 








Peeling paint

Provides a glimpse

Of what's underneath..

That's a story

Of finding something

That is and is not it

Just like the

Peeling paint...

Not yet and Already..




















Not yet and
Already..
Searching and hoping
For what is
Already...

Searching and hoping
To find what is missing
Which is and is not...

Searching and finding
And not finding
What cannot be
Found...

Not yet
Is the search
For something missing
The missing that
Cannot be found...

Already
Ends the not yet
In a story..which
Ends the story...

Fractals and the non duality message..

 









Fractals

And the non duality message..

Nothing is everything

Is the general story

In which nothing and

Everything are the same.. 

Sameness iterates as

Similar differences

Which might

Appear in literature

And science or in 

Those cloud patterns..

Iterated stories appearing as

Fractals..chips off the

Storied formula..and

Not even that...


Saturday, November 23, 2024

And not even that..

 




And not even that..

Is a rising thought

That the words just spoken

Are nothing after all...

A single word..

 




A single word

May seem to

Defy and exclaim

The emptiness

Of appearances...

Spinning off stories...




 






An Image

From the past

May suggest stories

Of what might have been..

Empty appearances

Arising as did 

The image...

Thursday, November 21, 2024

Narratives and pointing..

 














Narratives

Point to that

Which cannot be

Described and

To that which 

Cannot be the 

Object of

Pointing...


A tree

Is nothing..

How might

That be known..?

It cannot

And it cannot

Be known that

It cannot be

Known..and...

Seeking for the end of seeking..


 











Seeking

The end of

Seeking..

A story of

Seeking 

Which is

Endlessly

Ending

Already...




Sunday, November 17, 2024

The appearance of words is empty..


 











Pointing to nothing

Is a story which may be 

Intended as erasure..

But nothing stands

As a word..suggesting

The futility of a word 

To be more than a word..

Yet it might be said

The appearance

Of a word is empty..

Hence.the dilemma

And not...


Saturday, November 16, 2024

Antonyms..


 











Decay

Recalls the antonym

Flourish 

And these words

Not separated

Mark the futility

Of describing what is

Happening... 

Unknowing..

 













Unknowing

Can't be known

Or not known..

However

Unknowing may 

Appear as a story

Of one seeming

To know that

Unknowing

Can't be known

Or can be known...

Collapse..!!

 













Collapsing arises

Simultaneously with 

Building which are

Words futilely

Attempting to name

This...

Thursday, November 14, 2024

Nothing all the way down...

 














Nothing

Appears as a story

A story all the way down

Nothing all the way down...


In separation

Life seems as something..

Yet there is nothing

Whispering as something

Missing...


No separation

So what can be said..?

Nothing

Everything..

Stunning...


Tuesday, November 12, 2024

Conversation..




 







Conversation..

There is 

No other to listen

No other to speak..

As the story rolls

No other appears

As conversation..

Not figureoutable...





Self help...


 












Self help

Appeals to the one

Seeking new paths

To end the

Seeking which is

Already ended in

This appearance

Of self help...

Humility..


 











Humility..

Humble work

For humble pay

And seeming joy

In the work..

Nothing appearing

As joyful nothing..

Pearl of great price...

Amazing,,!


 











Amazing..!

An exclamation

In a story of one

Finding there is

Nothing

Extraordinary

And no one

To make the

Finding...


Amazing..!

An exclamation

In the play

Of the one

Who is not there

To make the

Exclamation...

Opposites..!!

 













Opposites

Often defined

As cousins of

Dark and light..

However

Separation's appearances

Seem to cast opposites

As differences

Of all variety and stripe..

So that opposites are

Synonymous with

Separation...

The story that never happened..

 













The simple paradox

Of no separation:

The question

Of what this is

Dissolving in a

Separation story

That never happened...

a paradoxical story..














Thoughts

Appear unexpectedly

Spontaneously..

Not for someone

Not for no one..

No explanation

Paradoxical story

Freedom from

Understanding

Or not...

Sunday, November 10, 2024

A satisfying story..

 













Identifying

With a story

Is the attraction

Offered by

Separation..

Searching and

Attaching to a

Satisfying story

Is the path of

Knowing in search

Of not-knowing...


Sunday, November 3, 2024

More about nothing..

 











Nothing 

Appearing..

That's

Everything...


Nothing

As stories..

That tells

It all...


Everything 

Is everywhere..

Not explainable

Nothing more...


Death

As nothing

Appears as

Life...


Nothing 

Is the territory

So are the

Maps...


No

Appears as

Yes...


When

Nothing appears

It won't be known...


Nothing appears

As no-thing...

Saturday, November 2, 2024

All about nothing...

















Non-duality

Is about nothing

About which

Nothing can be said..


Nothing

Cannot be described

Every description

Is already nothing...


Nothing

As a word

May seem to

Be something

As would be

A substitute word..


What is nothing?

Well..nothing at all

And not even that

And not even

And not

And


Nothing is the end

Ending of searching

And of course

Nothing cannot be

Found...


A polarity

Nothing and everything

Without separation

Nothing dancing...


Nothing is happening

Really..?

Happening is nothing

Happening...


What's between

Seeming polarities

Is nothing..

If nothing moves..yes

Seeming polarities...


Life seems about

Coming to terms

With nothing

With no terms available...


Much ado about nothing!
