"A Zen Reality..."

A pause

A taste of philosophy for a world wanting somehow less...

"A Zen Reality..." 

How easy it is to feel - nothing,
taste - nothing,
be - nothing.

To KNOW the nothing
is all there is
and yet never was.

And if what was - isn't
and what isn't - was
then who am I
to challenge the infinite
with my finite
- existence is a mirror
of infinite finites
and time is our wish
to touch the face of god.

someone asked me long ago of what is Zen and how it applied to life . I told them - "easy is as hard as you want to make it"

[Cardinal Robin]

Existence is a mirror of infinite finites. Quiptic. The opening reveals the rhetoric. Nothing isn't easy. And finite experiences are absent in nondualistic states of consciousness. Armchair Zen Reality?
The ideas work and point to the question, if Zen was branded enough to be a type of reality then less of it would be more.
Nary a dull moment with your words Chris

...if I am a figment of my imagination.... then I must also be.... a figment of yours....

To feel nothing, to be emotionless to life...sometimes I just feel
too much, and want to be numb. I love the last line in this...
and time is our wish to touch the face of god...that is a lovely
thought indeed:))

"time is our wish
to touch the face of god."

Time is. Our wishes are. The face of God...?

Deep, my friend!
