(“Dragon’s Eye”, 2024, original encaustic) Waking To Duality I wake from a dream Where I’d been in nondual samadhi A vivid clarity of thoughtless meditation I tried to sustain once awake Until I realized I probably have such dreams All the time and never know. The vanity and thus duality of life Is the desire and attempt to recreate What already is Making it into the shape Of our own preference. Adding the personal touch of our decor, Thought and sound track To capture something elusive Beyond the edge of thought, sound and vision; A comfortable little bottle To be a captive genie within. (3/24/25)
