The blood of life and death anoints me
as I surge in like the incoming ocean tide
connecting you and I in an embrace of the Earth and Ocean.
I flow out like the outgoing ocean tide
but never so far out that we lose contact.
I am poised, still, silent for a moment,
held back but still touching
then I surge in again
penetrating the deepness of your red caves
allowing the salt of my life to mingle with the power of your blood
My waves roll over your fertile lands
and then when I can go no further,
I hold for a moment, still, silent, intense in this embrace
and flow back out
withdrawing, but never completely separated.
I surge back in, movement incarnate
and then stop, stillness profound.
0 and 1
Stillness and Movement
Space and Time
The rhythmic interaction between us is the mysteries
of movement and stillness, space and time
The mingling of us is possibility manifesting into reality
through the plunging of the athame into the cauldron of creation.
You and I become one, become zero, become one again.
We are all things and none, reality and possibility merging into a confluence.
I surge in and I withdraw, but I am never completely apart from you.
You and I are a rhythm, a cycle, a dance of space and time, stillness and movement.
You and I are 0 and 1.
The doors of perception and possibility open to us
and our cycle brings us to the heart of the universe
the tao of stillness and movement
each feeding into the other,
an eternal cycle of possibility and reality
that you and I play a small part in.
Staring into the sun
Sometimes I like to lay down on the floor of my apartment, with the overhead fan running, the light turned on, and stretch myself out, so that my arms and hands are placed like I was on a cross and my feet are stretched as well. I close my eyes and face my head toward the light, letting it pierce my closed eyelids while I let my mind wander on a mystical journey. I'm staring, staring, staring into the sun. There's nothing to really see, but the light provides me a doorway and stairs to climb. As I climb each step, the door shines brighter and brighter, but once I reach it and step through I find myself in another space, another time.
I'm in a place of light in all directions, all shades of colors, a place of nothingness, of zero, all about to become one. I'm in endless potential, floating, no sensation other than light...yet it's so crowded, everything grasping, gasping, desperate to become one...to move forth form potential into action, nirvana into reality.
All the little pieces fit together perfectly. Nothing is out of place because there is nothing...it's all a ghost, shades of maybe played out for all to see, but there's no audience here, no awareness, just something primal, the perfect bringing together of different sounds...a cosmic soup, but no one's eating just yet. We await, we of the potential, give us direction, give us harmony, give us life...give us a fake reality, illusion, but it's so real!
Give us crystallization, the slow hum of feeling something replace nothing, direction, zero becomes 1, becomes the arrow which becomes direction, reality manifested, so it all fits together, falls into place, perfection, dig? It's everything you wanted, everything you needed, everything you dreaded. It's reality.
Zero and 0ne. Everything and nothing becomes something when your hand stirs the mix and takes away potential, shaping it into reality, molding, sculpting, playing.
Spirit becomes thought, thought becomes emotion, emotion becomes action, action creates reality.
He;s putting it all together, the subtle strum...it's so close, so perfect...it is, we are...everything becomes and is...all else fade away...let go, let go, let go...your bliss is here, zero is here, 1 subsumed, collapsing back into zero.
Welcome back...you've become the potential of everything and nothing...no particular spark, you're floating on a sea of quantum light and hum....all and nothing, pure potential...sink, sink, sink under the waves, til you're pulled out again to become 1, direction into reality.
It just is...don't you get it...it just is...let go...you're done now...time is starting up again.
