Every Inquiry — Headless Now — Prose Poem — Moca McCarty Photo

Every inquiry:

and as it is with every inquiry — it’s soon realized that we live in mystery and that no answer ever completely satisfies our sense of curiosity concerning to the world around us. Most especially this pertains to matters of reality and the inner world of mind and spirit, being seekers it seems by our very nature. This is where every inquiry leaves us, directly in the midst of mystery, content, and even happy with the paradox of our conclusions. Our answers are held lightly, easily let go in another moment’s exploration. We aren’t really seeking the end to mystery, but simply noting our temporary position within its hold, ready for one more revelation shared and further prove that mystery itself is our only true home.

every inquiry leads us here…

directly where we always are.

this too is the path and art of meditation, not to find ourselves anywhere else but here, the present moment of mantra, breath, and inspiration. Meditation is really the end result of every inquiry, no longer in pursuit of mystery, we are now resting now in the awareness of its revelation, not really seekers anymore but explorers of surroundings. Inquiry and meditation are seamless in their flow together, one always leading to the other for the further cause of mystery being known as our existence.
