Meanings..

 

Meanings..

There is the claim

Of no meanings..

Meanings multiply

Or enlarge a story..

And stories

Belong to seeming

Separation..

Which of course

Places meanings in

Storyland...

Pedestals..

 

Pedestals..

Climbing up

Looking up

Extraordinaries..

Characters posing

As deserving of

Attention..leaders

It might be said..

Or knowers..

Or worshipers..

The stories

Separation has 

Wrought..

Apparent

Divergences from

This showing up as

Already This...

The conditioned and unconditioned story..

Conditioned story and

Unconditioned story..

In the conditioned:

Separation and pain..

In the unconditioned:

Separation and pain..

Yet...

All of the characters...

 

No-thing

Can appear as

Fragile pride

Apparently..

Stories are replete

With diversions from

Equality..

Providing the

Characters for

Life as it appears...

"Appearance"

 

"Appearance"

Seemingly a better

Word for expressing 

The not expressible 

No-separation..

Not-two appears as two..

But then:

Blue appears as red

Is the same paradoxical

Expression..and these

Might be unending..

And seem like Freedom...

Everything vanishes...(Paul Cezanne)

 

Nature 

Is the artist..

The artist is

Not the painter..

There is no

Painter..yet

Nature appears

As the painter

And the painting

Already...

"Everything we look at disperses and vanishes. doesn't it? Nature is always the same, and yet its appearance is always changing... Painting must give us the flavour of nature’s eternity. Everything, you understand. So I join together nature's straying hands.... From all sides, here there and everywhere, I select colours, tones and shades; I set them down, I bring them together.... They make lines, they become objects – rocks, trees – without my thinking about them.... But if there is the slightest distraction, the slightest hitch, above all if I interpret too much one day, if I'm carried away today by a theory which contradicts yesterday's, if I think while I'm painting, if I meddle, then woosh!, everything goes to pieces.“ —  Paul Cézanne

Becoming "of Awareness aware.."

Becoming

"Of Awareness aware.."

An often said goal

Of meditative paths..

But seemingly an

Assumptive separation

Bedrocks the story:

A separate individual 

Achieving said goal..

However~

As a story it retains

For benefit of many a

Beautiful significance...

This is becoming ‘of Awareness aware’,

That’s the constant, conscious, perceiving presence,

Beyond body/mind and free from all care,

Consciousness at rest, our fundamental essence.
