A look into the endless pool of now.
No sense of coming and going - just this.
The upwelling of is-ness, a fire of bliss.
Every attempt to speak or write is
a stone of impermanence
thrown into the pool.
I know this place, I come here often;
though the eruptions of bliss
are gentler.
Separation implies will.
And will implies difference.
And from difference comes non-enlightenment.
'It is what it is', why be anything else?
And can we be anything else,
except through illusion?
You can merge, but you lose reason.
And you can have reason
but not the bliss of merger.
Everything can just be.
But only we humans
can reason and forget both.
But we should reason
and remember
that we are also existence.
And that all we have to do to fall back
into the pool of bliss and being
is to cease thinking and differentiating.
Creation is both beautiful and brutal
and with these lives
we can choose.
