For Mary Ann

for Mary Ann..

What is nonduality?..she asked..
The Truth lies in this:
words are inadequate to explain
That which she already knows..!

There is a backing away
from our habitual entanglements
with the world out there
and this question arises:
Who is reading these words..?

Remembering our school years
and life's many classrooms
this vital question 
was quite amazingly
never asked..

Seemingly overlooked
was our Self as witness
to each lesson learned..
The price of avoidance of 
naming and experiencing

That which we always have been:
we accepted our brokenness
forgetting our identity 
as Wholeness.. as Oneness
as.. I am...
