The Beautiful Equation

what appears
to be a universe
to you
is just the process of
the absolute's intent to know myself

it's like intent
to see myself
creates a mirror
most appropriate for that doing
you see it's complicated

after the lilac are the leaves
an osprey in the sky above the river
rhododendrons in their final purple burst
a bend in the creek
yellow buttercups appearing in the grass

the mind sees beauty
as this complicated object
to explain
it's not
really

me
you
love
one
I

Sha Ma Na Na

in the world
following awareness
unbelievably
may be a crime
try to make you do time

to avoid doing time
start thinking of
me as
I
love

big pharma is
especially afraid
ah-oooooh
werewolves of
consciousness

the likes of Shakespeare
doesn't write a play
as much as play
is writing
Shakespeare

more like
Shakespeare
is forming
ten-thousand
monkeys

Shakespeare
deconstructive
Basho blank verse some expansive haiku
silencing
the awful noise of holy empire

to bee
or not to be
there never is
a question of the honey
no

the June sun
is shining
through a seeming gap
in the leaves like
Stonehenge

no matter
how you want to slice it
there's no way
you're doing
straight time

summer is
breathtakingly incomplete
without
the appearance of
fireflies

Holding Hands in a Light Blue Thunderbird

From the road approaching Grand Canyon there appears to be a sudden gap in earth and nothing there but open sky.

It's true for people too. Asking who I am, if asked in earnestness, and not relying on another for an answer,

will approach an open space unoccupied by thought, belief, or all conditioning of any form,

resulting as awareness in one's free and open being, as if this universe of space and time was driving

toward this edge from its beginning. Now, the revelation has arrived. The Great Unknowing only knows itself within another.

across the river

river at low slack tide 
strong east wind at my face 
downriver an eagle maybe a seagull 
no. 
buddha nature 

now 
is the month 
of our summer solstice 
made glorious 
green in a synthesis of sun 

across the river
is a wilderness
of eastern white pine
reflecting
across the river

in the smoke
of coming summer
everything is
consciousness
appearing higher

you can lead
imagination
to water
but it won't drink
the inspiration

life
is
a dream
you play
by heart

only
the heart knows
one
divided by
zero

zero shines
at the speed of light
some belief
shadows it
no way

the way
appears to be
bi-polar
but it's only
reflective

across
the river
there is
no
river

On 'The Wizard of Oz' / A Dream Review

the tin man 
like the truly 
empty one 
he is 
follows his heart 

the scarecrow 
stuffed 
with so much thought 
is being 
mindful 

the lion
is in the act of using
its own thoughts
to deconstruct
belief in fear

dorothy
now knows
oz is but a dream
reawakening one to
home

the heart writes the play
and the mind makes it
mythic
so as to see all the action as
the story of one

follow the heart
be mindful
and don't believe
for you are always home
the absolute I of one

Adult Film

the meaning of the dream 
is knowing it's 
a dream 
or otherwise 
the dream continues on 

without a meaning—
this simple knowing
is awaking
one
as pure awareness

in an insubstantial
unafraid and
undivided
unadulterated
bliss

seven quintets in search of a name

1.
already leaves 
ignite into sky 
as ravenous caterpillars 
burn in the name 
of transformation 

2.
the fox moves
in the moonlit emptiness
silver leaves living
only in the echoing
space-time of mind

3.
July fireflies
in the lilies of my June
imagination starring
Zhuangzi and the Amazing
Magicians of Las Vegas

4.
transformation is
emptiness is
impermanence is
illusion is
is

5.
deconstruction is
seeing no construction
ever was
including the past
tense of is

6.
mercury apollo
carbonated water
cadillac granitic
strawberry arising
being anonymous

7.
blossoming mountain
laurel almost seem
to grow gossamer
brightly closing
my watery eyes

untitled

1.

everything is 
consciousness 
except I 
consciousness is 
I

like
I think
therefore
I forget
I am

fourteen billion years of
working on the night shift
and all I get to wear is
this flower saying
self-aware


2.

I write for nobody
so if anybody hears me
they'll know who
they are
I am

only you
know
if
you know
I know

I am attached
to your dream
at the body-mind's assemblage point
of Hollywood
and I


3.

people are either
builders or
finishers
the fool has no
marble

dream time is
the best time
to be
or
not to be

(i hope kids are still
learning
long division
isn't
the solution

using 80-20
by the seventh generation
from out of one-million
there's like
a baker's dozen)


4.

mystic experience
of the experiential
now
is basically
the assemblage point

touching that
experiential
assemblage point
is like being
the moon

reflecting in the river is the moon
reflecting sun
being absolutely zero
equals I
love

This Experiential Play

Illusions last for more than thirteen billion years. The great enlightened and marvelous evolution is the wizard of it all.

In the audience are those that have been fooled to think they're separate from this wonderful and awesome universe of enlightening intent.

Listen to them laugh and cry. And laugh and cry. And laugh and cry. And scream and die.

Although it doesn't matter what they say or do—it's just a matter of observing what is true, to you. I am.

seventeen imagist chinese haiku tanka omaha

1
practice is type a
logic is type b
paradox is type 3
being is
type

2
if you look closely
you see the world
just as you need it
to be
to know

3
the universe contains this body-mind
and this body-mind is intending
to know I'm not this universe
but the universe is that
I know I'm I

4
paradox is the mother
of all logic
but it only takes one
to form
a religion

5
it's never mystic
because it's personal
and now that it's personal
it can't be mystic
so be it

6
i love love
but the personal
makes me think
it hurts
love!

7
sometimes the crown lies heavy
and sometimes i'm the crown
of all creation in tao
if it ain't one yin
it's another

8
under the influence
of love
it's best to love
before you have the time
to think about it

9
the transmission of mind
is
unconditional love
it's really not
a secret

10
no matter
how hard you try
you will never make the present
an identifiable product of the past
so drop it

11
we may believe
what we've been told
but i am
that
which never is said

12
my job is
to know
I am
thus I do
me

13
just hearing
truth
is like playing
music
in the hemispheres

14
hearing
three
in
five
as one

15
you can't mass communicate truth
it's the matter of one
on one
I speak
me can't hear

16
transformation is
like the seasons of the witch
that is green
this lyric
of the revolution!

17
imagist chinese haiku tanka omaha
original postmodernism
i can't believe
it's still
light
