The World of This Or That

Where awareness walks wearing illusion, Nor head is held high, nor is knowledge free, Truth’s hardly whole and suffers division, In such a place one looks but can’t much see. Where illusion's a default alt of world, Where info bytes, not wisdom, weapons wield, Truth's seldom whole, but be this or that bird, A part looks whole that fetches no full yield, Eternal does this twain dance in twilight, Mind seems muddled under here or there lore, And sees things as black or white, wrong or right, Truth scarce arrives, stuck on a far off shore. Rejoice that world has photon’s better bet, That lives a whole life yon of this or that. _____________________________________________ Science tells us: Photon can be present at two places at the same time. It has incredible awareness to mutate from a wave (or energy) to particle (matter), a quantum mystery! But human mind suffers from this-or-that paradigm: wave or particle, day or night…, a puzzle incomprehensible when complete! Computer accepts 0 or 1. Human mind is not much better. On the other hand, holistic awareness is non-dual, the undifferentiated whole. This sonnet goes on a wonderment trip on the wings of these facts.
