there is no finding
of what is not lost~
yet what is not lost
may show up as a
finding~or not
"There is nothing to be found and nothing to
lose. What appears to be happening is naturally
everything. That is the joy--a joy that nobody
owns and that is everything at the same time.
That is what these words speak of. And yet
they add nothing."
~~Andreas Muller
being
that word said
no other words
nor that one
can capture
nothing
is everything
a paradox
or a miracle
seemingly dependent
upon
words
are pretenders
until discovered
to be
appearances
what's out there
and in here
appearances of
no separation
not explained
not explainable
can be obvious
dissolving absent
handholds
finding
what is not lost
a seeker's shock
and demise
perhaps
searching
assumes something
to find with no
expectation that
something is
nothing
presence
seems as lost
as conditioning
captures the child~
conditioning may
initiate a search
of futility to find
what is not lost
until the search
shows up empty
and already
presence
a longing
for completion~
dissatisfying
separation has
shaded the joy
from our days~
seeking seeks
to quench the
dissatisfaction so
add a basement
gold
and charcoal
earthly distinctions
light and dark
one and many~
appearances
(nothing appears)
seem for and against
the possibility of
freedom
equality
arises seeing
that nothing
is arising
interweaving
may suggest that
the separation
interwoven
is the immediacy
of a dance step
wood grains
seem as suggestion
of time past ~
a map claimed as
years and seasons
of eternity
emergence
from or into
darkness
is the stuff of
stories
which avoid the
inconvenience of
spontaneity
