Existence Soup

thinking about existence v's non-existence and if any of it matters and throwing it all into a soup of words

drift away 

float

expunge 

teachings taught

wisdoms sought

blank 

zero 

naught

strip away 

shed

dissolve 

meanings meant 

perceptions pent

sliding 

into 

descent

disintegrate 

conscious

form

infinitely seeing

nihility being

now 

you’re 

gone

The way this sounds really makes this one work so well. The rhyming pattern is great, and moves the pace along.
Well done, ma'am.

More and more you seem to be removing words and getting straighter to the point.

I was just reading about the concept of Śīla and you wrote this I think synchronicity must be trying to tell me something. As the words try to attest to the not - doing as a for of non - aquisition I guess that makes it instantly into the realm of buddhism then dissolve desintegrate come to reinforce my point of view onto this writing. I of course I will avoid describing anything to do with buddhism although really a "fan" of Zen but I am more into the realm of imginative thinking. So similarly this words could be taken into the realm were thinking so hard to come up with something , organic combustion brings about a good idea which gets imprinted into life dissolving into action desintegrating into many conciously taking part of a whole, gone then would be the individuality.

Thankyou for the invite

it's funny I have been reading The Book of Secrets - Osho and I am really beginning to come to grips with the whole 'we are nothing but a bursting flourish of life' thing, we attache meaning where it is not needed or warranted, we beleive we are something when really we are just an ever flowing component of th erest of the universe, we have consciousness today ... and tomorrow we may return to the stardust we once were ...

thanks for reading ... oh and I love synchronicity ... love it xx

[Rene Salinas]

Yep that all relates to Buddhism KWP and more....

[KWP]

and yet buddhism is just another human concept .. I am trying to float on by ...

[Rene Salinas]

Ha! No living entity could ever be imprisioned by a concept KWP. Buddhism is a way of life. That was a big jump. You lost me there...

[KWP]

something to continue the pondering ... as always ... as always ... :)

I guess some can seek a lifetime and try to reach the destination without enjoying the actual journey, visceral lesson as it is...powerful poem :) x
