Those pronouns...and a New Year...

 












Those pronouns 

Me and the others

Reek of separation..

That is a thought

Rising which seems

To have discarded

The cloak of separation..

Another rising might

Note a judgmental

Tone of the discard..

A stream of risings

Not separate from

Fallings..including

This one:

Happy New Year...!

Words suggesting possible stories..













Time 
Seems paramount but
Appears as nothing..
That's the preface of 
All stories...




















All at once
Chaos and peace
Appearing as
Nothing...


















Nature
Is the totality
Featuring life and death
As peeks of sameness...


















No separation
Is the default when
The stories seem to
Rise and insist... 




















Entanglement
One with another
Separation
No separation
Words perhaps
Suggesting other
Stories...



The end of Liberation..

 









Liberation

For the separate

Individual

Is not possible..

The end of 

Liberation is an

Expression of

Freedom...

It is home..

 













No separation

Resonance may seem

A flip in perception..

What seems separate

Is not separated..

Paradox and not

It is home...

Life never stilled..


 











A seemingly 

Stilled life

An appearance

Of life never

Stilled..

Where is death's

Sting..?

Arises unknowingly..

 











"You" and experience 

Are synonymous

And empty.. 

Paradoxically or not 

What seems happening 

Arises, unknowingly...

Why not now..?

 













Why not now..?

Now is not

Why not not..?

Immediate

Liberation now..?

Intensity..

 









Intensity

Full attention seems 

A focus on something

Reinforcing a story of

Something as separate

Intensely separate..

Unlikely leading to

Another story of

Intense liberation...

Fragmentary suggestions...

 













Fragments

Suggest a fullness

Not apparent..

Or a fullness already

Apparent as what

Seems happening..

These suggestions

Are appearances

Of that which  

Is not known...

Inscrutable...

 






(Painting by Eve Reece)







Inscrutable 

Not knowing

An impossibility of

Words which try to

Touch on the 

Immediacy

Of thoughts and 

Emotions arising

From viewing 

A single face..

An appearance of

Everyone...













Construction and destruction..


 











Construction and 

Destruction..

No separation 

No between..

It's not knowing

The sequence 

Which appears with

Responses of elation

And despair..

The search..












The search

Names all experience:

Discomfort searching for comfort

Poverty searching for more

Death searching for life

Unsweetened searching for sweetening

The not-yet searching for already

And all those in reverse..

Then there is that retold story

Of the cradle and the star...




Much ado about nothing..

 











Much ado about

Nothing..are the

Famous words..

However

Nothing is everything

Including much ado...


No right

Without a left

Simply not two..

Obviously

Not knowing...


A story

Could be written

Of flames burning 

Assumptive separation..

Apparently the end

Of all stories...


Simply

Not two is

Synonymously

Not knowing...


Home

Is when

No separation

Suddenly 

Appears as

Home...


Religions

Seem to thrive

On stories which

Don't seem empty..

With bridges designed

To reach stories

Already empty...


The search

Names all experience:

Discomfort searching for comfort

Poverty searching for more

Death searching for life

Unsweetened searching for sweetening

The not-yet searching for already

And on and on..

Then there is that star and

The cradle...

Labels burning...












 


That

Which cannot be described

Seems often to be labeled

Nothing..

Everything..

Already this..

Unknowable..or

That

Which cannot be described..

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

Rising and falling

Never appearing again..

They're seemingly

What's happening...


Travel

Often undertaken to

Find the new..

While the new always

Is what seems happening...


It's words

Which may seem

To build the edges..

Nothing with 

Impossible edges..


Perspectives

With no separation

Are the magic

Of the impossible...


Stories not seeming

As empty may arrive

Apparently with

A dose of desperation...

The weather..

 







The weather

Shields and un-shields

The sun

Apparently..

Considering the concept:

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...
