The wise say all things are
connected in the Universe,
and remain so throughout time —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

The foolish create aliens
from the unknown
“see the dragon in my garage” —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

Still trying to understand the message
in our fleeing experience
we seek to be identical with the stable —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

 Our impermanent passing experience
is where knowledge exist
by not minimizing the significance of the whole —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

Nothing can be retained
even knowledge, like the fruit of the tree
decays as soon as it is ripe —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

As gatekeepers to all things connected
by opening the gates to experience
we learn to love and care for others —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

Seek not to ripen on the tree of knowledge
for knowledge that is “crystal clear”
only decays when ripe —
Continue to digest the emptiness.

To stop connecting is to
is to see the fruit as a constant red
let the shade is constantly changing —
continue to digest the emptiness.

Because we may lack the realization
should stop us from crawling
with the “struggling ant?” —
continue to digest the emptiness.

As our reality is narrowed
our ability to connect
creating meaning and value is diminished —
continue to digest the emptiness.

Continue To Digest The Emptiness

The wise teach,

all things are
connected in the Universe,
and remain so throughout time –

continue to digest the emptiness.

As gatekeepers

to all things connected
we open the gates to experience,
learning to love and care for others –

continue to digest the emptiness.

The foolish

give rise to aliens,
lacking knowledge of the whole,
“. . . see the dragon in my garage” –

continue to digest the emptiness.

Trying

to understand the messages
in our fleeing experiences,
seeking to be identical with the norm –

continue to digest the emptiness.

Yet,

our impermanent passing experience
is where knowledge exist,
maximizing the significance of the whole –

continue to digest the emptiness.

Unused knowledge

is not retained,
like the fruit of the tree,
decays as soon as it is ripe –

continue to digest the emptiness.

Seek not to ripen

on the tree of knowledge,
for knowledge that has crystallized
quickly loses clarity of the whole –

continue to digest the emptiness.

As our reality

is narrowed,
our ability to connect is lessened, thus
diminishing meaning and value –

continue to digest the emptiness.

Lacking actualization,

should not stop
us from crawling,

with the “struggling ant” –

continue to digest the emptiness.

Continue to crawl . . .
