Beyond The Veil

A little more abstract than some of my stuff. Just having fun with color and shapes.
What’s it here for?

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

Non-Dual
Posted in Poetics, Quotes on September 15, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This is the first draft of a post of a few days ago, (“Wei Wu Wei“). Thought I would post it as well for context and contrast.
truth is non dual
only seeing is itself truth
all else is bondage
non volitional living
the see-er and the thing seen
is the dualism
“The seeing of Truth cannot be dualistic (a ‘thing’ seen). [...]
Therefore

River flows
it is just passing water.
No ripple or drop
the same.
Therefore
there is no river,
there is no man.

My Imaginary Life 2
Posted in Everyday Stuff, Poetics on September 11, 2007 | 2 Comments »
It’s all in my head
this imaginary life
imposing itself
in its form
upon the universe.
This imaginary life
flies from the brain
onto page after page
tweaking your own
imaginary life.
Thus you write your own
tome of a life imagined
in line and verse.
And the universe
remembers.

truth is non dual
only seeing is itself truth
all else is bondage
Based on a quote by Wei Wu Wei

giving self to love
with our deepest and best
like flowers to bees
The Sadness of Things
Posted in Poetics on September 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
The sadness of things is
like the toppled buddha,
visible in her falling,
through the open window.
In the empty house
clanging doors stir dust,
like a broken hourglass half full of sand
trapped in a shadowy box of iniquity.
Suddenly vivid in a world of lucid dreams,
things were shining in their absence,
like Dad,
the man who would live forever making people happy
Rain

It smells nothing
like rain, sudden in the sun,
an open window
Human Evolution and Play
Posted in Poetics on September 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
With penetrating Attention,
wide-eyed, inspects;
blend seeing, appetite, and memory–
frisky, frolicking in the pool:
One mind–
giving movements of a different mind
Vast distance? — no, …a wink!
So much fun.

Two are one, This
present being the reality
past and future the duality
the eternal real
is this
now-moment….
now

Formless Form….

This manifest form
rooted deeply, perfectly
as that which is.

No boundaries exist

Oh, the earth, dirt, mud
Amazing taste on young lips

I Wrote A Poem Once
Posted in Poetics on February 19, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
about the time we met
After the divorce.
After the new husband.
At our child’s house, for
the baby’s birthday.
I could still feel my fingers
wandering to
Those places now forbidden.
I tried not to think
Of it. To no avail.
It is too fresh.
Your luminous
Self is all I feel.
All I can see of this moment.
Even though I can no longer
feel [...]
When They Meet

They will meet again.
It will be soon.
He will say things to her.
Deep things from what is a deeper place.
In him.
It is where he goes sometimes,
When it hurts and no one knows.
Things arise there, often dark.
Shadows with twisted faces.
Only the eyes have life, light.
The rest is buried where shadows sleep.
They will awaken at dawn.
The [...]
One hand clapping….
Posted in Poetics, Spirit on January 18, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
This in response to a discussion about the extinction of species while sitting in meditation this morning:
Classic query: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
My response: There is no hand, there is no clapping,
there is no sound.
Query: What is the sound of one species demise?
It is the thunderous sound of one tear
crashing to the [...]
