(“Original Mind”, 2017, original mixed media encaustic)
Tathagata and the Paradox of Being
There is no death in samsara
Unless you are in samsara…
Mind is free and always has been
free to bind and enslaved itself
Perhaps first in play or accident
But then eventually in habit.
Mind is like the sky
Open and accommodating
And ultimately unhindered or blemished
In any way by obscuring clouds.
Reality on the ground however,
Is a whole nother story,
The way every region on Earth
With its different climates and peoples
Is in fact completely and qualitatively different!
The range of suffering in samsara
Is infinite and individual.
The range of what is beyond suffering
Is the opposite; uniform and universal.

When a person approached investigatively,
He chases his relations suspensively,
He finds clue and works dramatically,
Suspection always works progressively.
Confirmation of belief confirms sensitivity,
Growth brings a change to work relatively,
Hunger is seeking growth for productively,
A limit of growth confirms value qualitatively.
When population has highly density,
Unemployment works offensively,
Poverty grows to increase crime,
Disaster comes to balance creatively.
Everything is naturally fast and slow,
A person has patience for a balance flow,
Air can’t across a gravity line,
Sun has different heat rates a limit to grow.
