White Wolfe's Meditation on Nothing

[Guest guest]

I don't know if it is my place to do this because I haven't asked for

permission, but Mark sent me this poem today, and I loved it so that

I cannot resist posting it to the list.....

Mark and Mira will be married on May 1st, 2001 in Lake Tahoe, by the way....

Is this our first list-wedding....?

meditation on nothing

 

 

 

There is enough of nothing.

 

It is plenty, it is infinite, it is unfathomable.

 

-

 

 

 

sat…,

 

truth is wisdom arising into beauty

 

 

 

something is endlessly becoming of nothing

 

of nothing comes nothing, wisdom is nothing

 

 

 

chit,

 

consciousness is beauty arising into wisdom

 

 

nothing is something sacred becoming nothing profane

 

of something comes something, beauty is something

 

 

ananda,

 

bliss is wisdom dissolving into the beloved

 

 

 

nothing is the beloved arising into the lover’s

something

 

something is the lover dissolving into the beloved’s

nothing

 

sat,

 

chit,

 

ananda, is one arising into two dissolving into one nothing

 

 

 

there is always too much nothing and never enough something

 

i surrender something that is nothing,

 

to you my beloved,

 

to become nothing that

is something

 

 

 

i have had enough of nothing, beloved, i hunger for something more in you
