Full of emptiness

 

Marveling

at the appearances

of separation~

At the beauty and surprise

of incongruity

when the concept

of appearance 

is full of emptiness~~

Without perspective~

 

Perspectives

need distances which

are provided in stories~

Without distances

stories seem to arise

as expressions of

emptiness and a 

sense of freedom~~

Wholeness 

and separation

define each other~

when either

is indefinable

the other is too~

What is This?

Sharing the mystery~~

 

There 

may seem 

a sharing

of what cannot

be described and 

cannot be denied

(Presence?)

appearing as

each of us 

sharing the 

mystery~~

Scripture arises~

As

a story appears

its emptiness may

seem as peace~~ 

The

storied

writer may

pick a character

empty and all

who then serves

as a model and

teacher and

scripture arises~~

Theology~

 "Theology is a place and a story. Theology is the place and story you think of when you ask yourself about the meaning of your life, of the world, and the possibility of God." ~~Serene Jones

Grace

is not here and there

but

everywhere which is

here and there~~

Theology

is the "recognition"

of a story 

as a story:

an appearance

of grace~~

Gospel

the word is

inexplicable but seems

to appear in a variety

of stories featuring

a main character

named Jesus~~

It's all empty

including

these words~~

No

dissolving 

with nothing to

dissolve~~

Faith

is a "recognition"

of grace

as inexplicable

but obvious~~

Discards~

 

Immediacy 

in the message

may propel a

discard of what

was never there

to discard~

Including the

one in this

story who hears

the message~~

Simplicity already~

 

Simplicity

appearances 

are already

complete stories~

Nevertheless 

explanation

continuance

extensions

arise 

which are not 

more complete~~

Homespun~~

 

Imagination

may seem to

fill the gap

tell the stories~

And or

the gap appears

imagining all this~

One story~~

Home

has the guises

of where.ever

and when.ever~

Homespun~~

The never ending story~~

 

Stories

spin off stories

interpretations

and such

with seeming

continuity

veiling and unveiling

a never ending 

story~~  

Choice in the story~

 

"You" 

choose to

show up in an 

appearing story

and the choice 

may seem 

quite real~~

Chaos of all appearing~~

 

The

chaos of all

appearing

which includes

the seeming order

of an arising image

and description~

This is chaos~~

Memories~~

 

Memories

arise as This

not as before~

Memories and

imagination are

synonymous and

immediate~

A totality 

without precedence

in an appearing

red chair on a

sunny porch~~

Alreadiness~

 

Alreadyness  

is not a word

but is a non-word

quick on its feet

flashing across a

scene supporting

and defeating the

seeming somethings~~

Unfindable~~

 

Emptiness

the stories and all

are empty and

this simplicity

may also show up   

in narratives of

paths and directions

to find unfindable

Emptiness~~

One word..

Simply

stories may

resonate as

simply

Freedom~~

One 

word arises 

and that one 

may write a

story like this

One~~

AI

puts words 

and their

narratives in

a placeless

place~~

Nothing

is and is not

perfect~~

Appearances

everywhere and

somewhere~~

We

only know

stories

but a story

may pop up

ripping up our

assumptions~~

Emptiness already~~

 

From

a narrated image

arises another story

a paradox

of spring and

a flash of

emptiness already~~

Wholeness expressing~~

 

Appearances

of difficulty 

pain and sorrow

may seem as a

nod to separation

in a story which

can only be told

by an expressing

Wholeness~~

Dancing words~~

 

Paradox

lines up as:

Inexpressible

expressing~

Unknowable

knowing~

Unconditional

conditioning~

Two words 

chosen and

dancing in

like manner~~

Presence presents~~

 

Presence

presents as 

everything

something and

nothing~

Nothing

presents as

everything

something and

presence~

Word shift~~

Paradox again~~

 

The

paradox seems as

a joining of what

also seems an

impossibility~~

A story which may

glide freely~~
