From Object — Poetry — Headless Now — Moca McCarty Photo

From Object:

from object to an instant of a seamless view — it’s all the very same moment, one reality in its show of how we hold the world. This is our capacity, beyond description of duality or illusory place within it all; it’s simply life in full display of wonder.

showing we belong.

and there it is, everything revealed at once — we are intricate to a single relation, entangled to the point where there isn’t a world shown without our view. A true intimacy. Yet we see the world in terms of separation, a description of objects apart from us and broken from the whole. It’s a mystery of occurrence, duality expressed in a seamless world.

the middle way tells us both exist at once; that inherent emptiness gives rise to form, seemingly solid to touch and view. But empty all the same. Reality itself is fluid in its expression, lending itself to appearance in the same moment of its void. There is no point to label it as just one thing, to believe that life is made of pieces, objects, that are separate from our view.

reality is seen at once.

seamless.

for a moment let’s allow it all to be — from object to its empty source, from view without a single viewer found. It’s all the same thing and doesn’t need description now. It’s how things are. Reality will always defy our attempts at explanations.

but we are a valid point of its expression.

Peace,
Eric
