always at home
in this inescapable
bright unlit luminescence
this crucible of Creation:
Mother of time and space;
vast unknowable knowingness
always at rest
in this ultimate abode;
unassailable, yet ever available
prior to the mind
container of consciousness -
beyond the concept of beyond
always at home, always at rest
always already

you want calm water
but diamonds only sparkle
where water’s disturbed
I’ve been there
crouched low,
riding a tunnel wave
but it wasn’t in that
rolling roaring wetness
it was in this
silent
unfathomable
ocean of Being
imagine my amazement
to discover – here
in this human form -
an aging amphibious
void-surfer

machine-mind (programmed for conclusions and certitude) asks:
how can you prove oneness, wholeness, nonduality?
.
fully defragged matrix-mind replies:
simply by failing to find proof of separation

[your ultimate and assured defeat in this quest
cancels all the questions
and leaves you blinking
in wonderment:

Painting by Kazuaki Tanahashi – at ‘the awakened eye’
emptiness loves emptying
that’s it’s nature
its forms are endless; beyond mind’s conjecture
you can’t arrive
at an apperception of its infinite beingness
by any practice or prayer
it is too ever-present
too intimate
without ever arriving, it’s always here

awakening from sleep
awareness arrays a new-born world
splashes face
gropes for zafu
settles butt, folds legs
inhales the fragrant flowering gums
chuckles with the kookaburra
trembles with the palm fronds
sips steaming green tea
disappears into a silence
that senses every tone and texture
breathes – is breathed
marvels, that
not one scientist, philosopher or sage
can explain how any of this can possibly occur
on an exquisite pulsing rock
awhirl in a numinous space -
a space inseparable from
the immense, immeasurable awareness
in which it all appears
. . .
