A moment too soon
Vapors smooth
Combing its back
Reaches out for that void
Unknown entangles the known like tea dreaming to be drunk
From empty pots and vessels
Filled with sunlight in a bowl
Seeds that will germinate
Flowers, rivers and oceans
And granite mountains crumbling to dust
Picked up by the winds
Wayfaring across the boundaries of sleep and awakening
Into time tunnels retrocausally active
Jumping like a cat out of Schrodinger’s box
Neither alive nor dead
A non-dual existence above the rest
Playing a miniature part
In the grand finale
Nose, ear, eye undifferentiated in the spectrum
Why are there beings at all, and why not rather nothing? That is the question.
“Technical knowledge is not enough. One must transcend techniques so that the art becomes an artless art, growing out of the unconscious” – D.T. Suzuki
“Nothing acts of itself -there is no such thing as an Agent. Action is the nature of the whole thing and it appears as it were in one place in relation to stillness in other and so on…” -Alan Watts
“To take a stand for the future is to bring forth a new opportunity, not one derived from the past, but an opportunity created from a future to which we give ourselves. – Werner Erhard /Interview with USA Today, “Mankind Must Find a New Self Awareness”, Dan Neuharth and Miles White, December 14, 1982
Hands, legs, brain undifferentiated in the spectrum
Only spectral lines
Only fluctuations in the artist’s mind
A web of life interconnected creating non-equilibrium dissipative structure
The old custom
From its bag of promise
Gives wisdom beyond happiness
Inward walking
Dimensions seek themselves
Stay fresh in the morning dew
Your teacups are dreaming the warmth of the stove
Awakening is an act of making the tea.
