2024-07-23 – Pebbles

Wednesday, July 24th, 2024

We are creatures 
spawned from change;
in the never ending churn
of an existence in motion.

Temporary, transient 
and small,
like pebbles of awareness.

Existent ,for but moments,
in the endless deluge.

We catch our breath…
and then we are gone.

The transient 
is all we have
in this moving 
eternity. 

A momentary awareness 
is all we are
in the great flow
of unknowing.

We try
to freeze and name
its passing
with our words.

But those are only
arbitrary gestures.
Irrelevant,
before they are swept away
in the endless changing.

Sometimes, 
if we are very quiet,
we can sense 
the infinite
unity of it…
before 
another thought 
arises in us
and we are lost again
in the small pebble’s 
forlorn dream 
of understanding.

If all the things
that you believe are true
cannot all be true at once,
then you have a problem.

2024-09-18 – Close to the bone

Thursday, September 19th, 2024

It is what it is.
So, where is truth?
In. what. is.

But all our conceptual
prognostications
lie far from that place.
Revealed, as they are,
through the many ways  
evolution has shaped us.

So, closer and closer
to the bone we must cut,
if we hope to touch the truths
that lie beneath
our evolutionary blindness.
