i will be gone for awhile, perhaps forever

Recommended Posts

Your always poetic

often cryptic

messages

will be

missed.

 

Don't stay away too long,

even forever takes coffee breaks

merely to mention

 

 

 

there is no "I" to go away

 

and

 

"forever"

 

 

is but an illusion.

until one knows oneself

who is it that is doing these

forms, alchemy, martial arts, what ever!

 

this is why i say

the dawning comes before the practice.

 

know thyself.

 

peace and happy pancakes,

In the beginning there is the practice

Once you know yourself there is no longer the need to practice.

What is left is the joy of practice.

But we're the sort

who let the dust

of ourselves

decorate the canopy of forests

in shadowy patterns.

 

and what comes to mind

this moment -

the diversity of living.

In company, or alone,

there is a strength in all beings.

I see the side-by-side trees

leaning on each other,

and feel more drawn to those

who stand alone,

holding fast amongst the storm.

 

 

:) (and now for a serenade via Snodgrass & myself) :

 

In the perspective of the heart,

those loved by all, when they depart,

take so much of us when they go,

that, like nothing else known they grow.

Larger when fleeing from the eye,

till they invest the vacant sky,

with their dear presence - an existence,

lost in exponential distance:

 

forever, and never

are the same, however,

Let soul, withdrawn,

fill up the whole

gap, role gone, goal gone,

and regain control.

 

 

Take care of yourself. Mayhap another day we'll cross paths along the journey ...

before all forms

came the primal unity

this body is it's offspring

 

sages speak of the "source of all things",

saying all things spring from this source

then return to it.

 

there is no "source "

there is no "all things"

there is not even nothingness.

 

the primal unity is aware of this.

 

i speak too much.

 

yet one more thing

 

 

seeing the way is the dawning

living the way is the practice.

Who is it that speaks too much.

One more thing

Now I have the last word

As time is accelerating ever-faster...forever just isn't what it used to be! ;)
