Śūnyatā

Shuffling the deck

Moving the chairs around

Sitting

Standing

Dancing

It all matters

Every single

Blink of the eye lid

Every single swallow of saliva

It all matters

This unfolding

The pealing away of the onion

Left with no center

It’s so brilliant

To be left

With nothing in this way

To spend lifetimes

Searching

To find what was never lost

To love

So deeply

Only to let it go

In one instant

Like the sensation

of you slipping through

my fingers as you departed

It didn’t feel like saying goodbye

It was like saying hello

Always hello

What can never be departed

The sensation of the towel

drying the last feeling of moisture away

It’s so beautiful to be stripped in this way

To never again look

To always be looking

To be feminine

And hold you

And to be masculine

And let go

It’s that simple really

The balance of it all

It’s always been there

Always been right here

To dance with a partner

And to dance alone

It’s all the same

To feed the children

To have an empty home

It’s all the same

Take me to the place you cry from

So I can hold you

Divine feminine

This dance

Divine masculine

Where there is a bird

Just a bird

Standing

Sitting

Sleeping

It’s all the same

To feel naked

Yet warm and clothed

Protected

And fragile

This love

It’s absolutely unconditional

In every way possible

It’s romantic

Yet absolutely tragic

You are allowed

To be who you are

To be someone new

To be

You are allowed

Within you

And within me

It’s gentle

So very gentle

Effortless

Soft

The sound of the water

Or your feet across the floor

Not there

Yet so alive

Not holding

Not letting go

As I look in your eyes across the room

I feel this very heart beat

This very breath

An aliveness so true

And when I am unkind

Even for a moment

I look

I want to look

I am more afraid to look away

Than to look at it directly

And then when I look

Inside I look because

That’s a familiar way to look

But when I look

I find nothing

Truly

An empty shell

I reach in to find something

And I find no inside

like being dead

and a newborn at the same time

Pealed away

Standing raw

This vulnerability

This love

It’s all the same

Available

Always available

"Is there something, I’m not seeing"

I often ask

It is important to be humble

And to be honest

And when I feel you

You wonder what I feel

I feel no inside

Nothing that is more true

There is no place where

It all stays the same

Where one experience

Becomes the always

The always is already

It can never have the same flavor

It can be all flavors

And in one instant

You can realize

You can taste and inhabit

That one flavor

The flavor that is right now

Might not be what was then

But it’s always

Right now

You won’t find it

Anywhere else

Just this very instant

And then it’s gone

But where would it go

Only right now

This one

right now

Empty of space

Empty of purpose

Empty of wisdom

I don’t know it

How could I ?

It’s closer than that

More real than a knowing

It’s the texture of the hairs on your arm

The pain in your belly from dinner

When you feel tingly all over

It’s that

Rest yourself there

Always alive

Alive and empty

Empty of truth

Empty of person

Empty of rest

Empty of movement

It’s fundamental

Innate

This love

Has no condition

Even when the view is held

That it needs to be a certain way

There is no way

No certain way

There is

Only what is

So when that sensation is loud

And that mind wants it to go away

And that emotion is trying to say hello

Just be

Just breath

Just see it

Feel it

Allow attention to immerse within it

Allow it to dive deep into that center

The center of all that is

The deep ocean

So vast

Yet so intimate

Is that

What is

Total love

Total acceptance

Just this

Only this
