("Anagogical Moments Merit Badge", 2011, original oil) Ineffable No matter what you think or say About reality, the true nature of Life Or mind, or God You are wrong. And that is simply Because what is real and true Is more subtle and immediate Than we can ever say. Doesn’t mean there isn’t a truth or reality Just that it is always beyond thought And thus speech; Always, and for everyone. And this makes you wonder What is it then we use our superior primate minds for? Mostly to divide and conquer it seems Certainly not to live in peace and harmony. Meanwhile birds sing, bees gather nectar Children laugh and elders sigh The world turns, beautifully and inexorably And we are here to simply notice and enjoy. (9/7/24)
