Cancellations

Cancellations

result in unexpected emptiness

which we rush to fill 
with things needing doing..

Afterward reflection:

Opportunities were presented
empty invitations

 not recognized

for renewal

for stillness

for being...

High mountain snow

High mountain snow

At last

after piercing the darkness

a smile and whiteness..

departing the hyena

the knowing death..

departing the quarrels

death wrapping words..

those writing beacons

shaded with death..

and brief happiness

 from death rising..

At last

a smile and such

whiteness..

and the hyena's

welcoming cry...

(Hemingway's 

The Snows of

Kilimanjaro)

Dance of Being

In reality there are no polar-opposites; duality and contrast are of the mind only and not of reality.

Language and concepts are utterly compelling, so much so that we might find ourselves desperately pursuing some spurious 'oneness' in an attempt to move away from life's conceptual opposites. But we fail to realise that 'oneness' is yet another part of a pair: 'oneness' requires 'twoness' in order to apparently exist. Both counterparts are extremes, and extremism will always bring with it much pain.

Instead, without intellectual effort, we might find ourselves naturally walking the sublime space of equilibrium. A placeless space where every life expression arises and dissolves, where all is lovingly held and released in what you are, where opposition (however extreme) is seen to be a wondrously balanced dance of being.

Precipitation

Precipitation

We are those

many precipitins

from sweeping

Awareness..

Our minds and all else

cells to galaxies 

the many scales

of precipitation..

Precipitations

which veil and reveal

their shining source...

Darwin's Eye..

Darwin's Eye

“To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I confess, absurd in the highest degree...The difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection , though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered subversive of the theory.”

--Charles Darwin

The corner

The corner

Between two sides a corner joins

a new joining meets the world..

The corner gains perspective

with a new eye

new in-sight...

Quantum awareness

Quantum awareness

Our present awareness

brings an infinite and undefinable space

into available experience and realization

a simple means of knowing ourselves..

Awareness of non-locality

a leap of insight  

a gift from science which is

not yet appreciated by science..

And there's more:

returning to those seeming externals

an experienced entanglement

dissolves subject and object

uncovering a hierarchy and

a science of love...

The Tenets of Quantum Physics

Non-Locality: We are all interconnected - even without signals, 

and experimental evidence is proving our inherent unity.
Tangled Hierarchy: In our brain, we become one with the 

neuronal images of an external object because of a tangled-hierarchy, 

a circularity. The observer is the observed.
Discontinuity: The discovery of something new of value in thought 

is a quantum leap of Aha! insight.
