1 original, poem on the theme of
The void
It appears that our innate awareness (subject) propels attention (means, mechanism), towards an object (manifest or abstract). Attention is held in quanta or packets of time. Thus each time quanta seems to be a trance state, as we meld therein.
The ‘flicker’ enabling transition from one cognitive experience to another, from one thought train to the next, from inhalation to exhalation, from waking to sleeping, from sleeping to waking … what is this enigmatic flicker, this void, seemingly without attribute, like space, yet enabling existence? Or just pen your understanding of the void.
