Even if the spider
doesn't think of a web
there it glistens
Examine a tree
down to its Essence --
& its infinity
If being is
everything experienced
what can you say?
Not being
not not being
how miraculous!
Experiencing is all
the being there is
says Parmenides
Being doesn't
exist
that's how it be-s
When being simply
be-s
it's not even being
Enjoying it
living it
no ideas about it
The inconceivable
non instant
is the always now
When you see through
all the ideas
then you're free
Paris, Tokyo, Rome --
only the One Mind
coming & going
The sage does nothing
the Tao makes sure
it all gets done
Wonder of wonders
earth is earth
wind is wind & fire is fire
Waking up
you realize
you weren't asleep
Don't form opinions
or ideas about it
you are It
Drawing the bow
& letting go
I am the target
every shot
is a hit
if the target is you
No before thought
no afterthought
thought isn't thought
At night
the great bell
sounds for miles around
turn away from It
you cannot
you are It
Nothing to do
to realize it
it's already the One
Nobody can
wake up to it
it is Awakeness
The Great Now
is a name
for the Eternal Tao
the Omnipresent Buddha
is your eyes, nostrils,
genitals, hands --
how miraculous
how extraordinary
I cut wood, I haul water!
