Zen Mode
we know not
although we should
so pause in wonderment
astonished as to the cause
of our limitation in feeble form
offered to us as duality experience
we have no doubt that if we so choose
we can exit the game of shadows
for which all we need to do
is to relinquish identity
melding with space
into no-thingness
but then we will lose
variety offered by contrast
and delightful play of polarities
and so to have the cake and eat it too
employing pure intent in childlike innocence
breath by breath we choose to bilocate
awareness both ‘here’ and ‘there’
immanent and transcendent
vivifying form and void
in endless renewal
