Defying delineation

We are advised to show, not tell but if the abstract be real, to speak of when the ego fell, requires us not to think but feel. The light we see, when eye’s single, may be pointed out to, not shown, as when polarities mingle, birthing rapture we alone own. Silence holds cosmic vibrations, known as sound of one hand clapping and within spine bliss sensations are known not to those who’re napping. To speak of truth that transcends mind in language that’s dualistic, is discerned by mind of the heart, cognised only by a mystic.

That which is Truth is real and doesn't require the cognitive mind to feel the present and know it is Truth. Your poetry is a meditation to me, I experience a calm beyond words. Thank you for soothing my heart and soul with your poetic gift, my friend. A FAV for my list. Peace be with you, Bill

Thank you, Bill. Embodying the understanding in form requires us to bilocate consciousness, becoming both transcendent and immanent simultaneously.

another spectacular and wisdom-filled creation. I liked, 'requires us not to think but feel' and also 'to speak of truth that transcends mind.' Often times I wonder if words are capable of speaking that level of truth....just pondering. Have a great day, Sara
