propensity

 

propensity

is to perceive 

as conditioned

fixing yesterday's

problems

freedom

from conditioning

is not rejecting

the conditioning

bird chirping

arising 

as the walker's

welcome of spring

The news is old..and noticing..

 

The news

Is old news

Already

The news is

And isn't

Lives and dies

Simultaneously

The news cycle

An empty story

presence

and the noticing

perhaps a grain of sand

or a spent banana peel

or the noticing itself

presenting as

presence

perspectives

are common for

everyone

the appearance of

separation prevails

regardless of lenses

perceiving

"I agree"

usually a pleasing

retort for each

end of a conversation

"I disagree"

another possibility

maybe not as pleasing

two appearances of

conversations which

smoke in the fires

of no-other

emptiness..

 

it's the

emptiness which

in its fullness

expresses what

seems happening

democracy

 

democracy

best not defined

but seems to point

to an equality

beyond all knowing

and in the story

of relationships 

may seem as

enlightenment

presence..

 

presence

the word arose

naming that 

which cannot

be named

as do all words

tho some may

seem to favor

nothing and 

others something

remembering

experiences of

presence

is a story which

may arise and

point to what

never arises and

never points

presence

is nothing 

seeming to

suggest what is

un-mistakingly

present and not

the search

 

the search

is futile due to

the lack of

opportunity

to conduct 

the search and

the lack of a

participant 

but in the 

story that is

another story

directness

 

directness

of what seems happening

may end the search

searching elsewhere for 

what is revealed already in 

directness
