This
Is not 2
Everything and
Nothing..
And is not those
Words..
Or those..
Or this one:
This...
It's
The simultaneity
Of it all..
Sequencing expected
Is no more..
Yet
Astonishingly
And not so
Sequencing shows up
Simultaneously..
Not 2..a story...
The hologram
Is a story of
Our footprint
Appearing as the
Vastness of the
Whole..it is the
Appearance I am..
Vastness as hologram
Leaves no stone unturned
Everything appears as
Everything..
Or so a story goes...
A thin green
Seemingly
Emerges from
The cold whiteness
Of winter..
With the white
Overnight appearing
As green..beauty of
The paradox that
White and green
Are not two...
Been there..done that
A conventional phrase
Seeming to overlay
A present and former
Story..a sameness
Of differences..another
Chapter relates
A hidden sameness:
Never there..never that...
Similarities
Seeming as such
In much writing
Reminiscent of
Non-dual..yet
The threshold of "you"
Is fixed and remains
Lending artificial
Dimensions to the
Separate you..
Stories abound
Without noticing
Your death occurred
Already...
Waiting
Expecting that time
Will expose what
One is waiting for..
Removing illusory
Time and the folly is
Exposed...a quick
Story about
Waiting...
What does Godot mean in Hebrew?
Its primary meaning is “straight” but
when it comesto temporal settings,
it means “immediately”. When Mark
talks about Jesus, there is no such
thing as “waiting for Godot”.
"Shifts.."
In perception
Seem to happen
Unpredictably
Immediately as
Nothing appears..
Astoundingly
Without instruction
Without explanation
Without fanfare...
Removal of
The unwanted
Offers
Temporary relief
Relaxation..but
Please
Look over there..
A separation
Scenario unfolds...
Magic
Is the paradox
Of sameness
Appearing differently...
It's all permanence
Yet seeming temporary..
Seeming is the magic
Disguising permanence
As permanence...
Stillness
Is the baseline
Which magically and
Spontaneously is
What is heard...
Those highs and lows
Peaks and valleys
Appear to arise..
It is the script which
Seems as a script
Or seems not..these
"Seemings" are
Simply not two..
Rendering the scripts
Filled with the
Freedom of what is
Unknowable...
Awe and desire..
Desire appears
Following maps of
Separation for
Beauty not
Found in what's
Here..
Desire's end is
Stunned by an
Appearance of awe..
Desire and awe
Are not two
And here after all...
Nature
Can be the
Unexplainable word
The infinite everything
The vastness
Which appears as
Nature's variations
Including what may
Seem other than
Nature...
Monet Refuses the Operation
BY LISEL MUELLER
Doctor, you say there are no haloes
around the streetlights in Paris
and what I see is an aberration
caused by old age, an affliction.
I tell you it has taken me all my life
to arrive at the vision of gas lamps as angels,
to soften and blur and finally banish
the edges you regret I don’t see,
to learn that the line I called the horizon
does not exist and sky and water,
so long apart, are the same state of being.
Fifty-four years before I could see
Rouen cathedral is built
of parallel shafts of sun,
and now you want to restore
my youthful errors: fixed
notions of top and bottom,
the illusion of three-dimensional space,
wisteria separate
from the bridge it covers.
What can I say to convince you
the Houses of Parliament dissolve
night after night to become
the fluid dream of the Thames?
I will not return to a universe
of objects that don’t know each other,
as if islands were not the lost children
of one great continent. The world
is flux, and light becomes what it touches,
becomes water, lilies on water,
above and below water,
becomes lilac and mauve and yellow
and white and cerulean lamps,
small fists passing sunlight
so quickly to one another
that it would take long, streaming hair
inside my brush to catch it.
To paint the speed of light!
Our weighted shapes, these verticals,
burn to mix with air
and change our bones, skin, clothes
to gases. Doctor,
if only you could see
how heaven pulls earth into its arms
and how infinitely the heart expands
to claim this world, blue vapor without end.

Thought
Reports what
Seems to be
Happening..
Dream scripts
Connecting
That which is
Without connection...
A word
Creates the
World anew..
Creating poles
Dancing to
Their own tune...
Religion
Spirituality
Are busy with
Various expressions
Of what cannot
Be expressed...
A melding
Of two religions
into one..
Syncretism..
Another wording
Arrives to express
What cannot be
Expressed...
Saying too much
Is what happens
When words are
Used to express
Nothing at all...
Coffee or tea..
The conventional story
Is a choice in time..
Another one:
A mini-story
With a mini
Gap in time for
Choice and retort..
Amazing or not
That is the story of
Choiceless choice
Neuroscience tells...
The brain's
Appearance
Gives rise to
The notion of
The Inexpressible
Due to the
Obvious
Entanglement of
No-brain..
A no-brainer...😁
Out of nowhere
Nothing to do with you
That is the no-separation
Story which may
Find no-one
Appearing as you...
No separation
Yet what appears
Seems to rely on
Separation for
Clarity of knowing..
The crux of dilemma
For the cultural crowd
In complaints of
Something missing..
It's the stuff that
Dreams are made of...
Nothing
Is permanent
Is temporary..
Nothing appears
As such..
Plus..perm appears
As temp..and vice versa..
No separation
Scrambles the words...
Surprise
Unpredictability
An arising newness
Without connection
Appearances seemingly
Buoyed by nothing...
