A Little Game of Mu

 

 

 

Let's play a little game,

shall we?

 

We can call it:

 

"Just Suppose".

 

For example,

just suppose that

anything that we now think,

or have ever thought,

or will ever think

has no more substantiality

or significance

or binding quality

or import

or seriousness

or implication

or inherent meaning

or ultimate purpose

than the automaticity of

an eye blink.

 

Then just suppose that

this apparent body here,

this precious abode of life,

is no more or less

a transitory phenomenon than a

a phantom flash of

lightning in a dark imaginary sky,

a wobbly bubble on a cartoon stream,

a shout unheard in a forgotten forest,

a drop of dew in a broiling summer desert,

a lonesome love song playing on

that radio station that long ago

went off the air,

or a dream you once had

that you just can't quite remember.

 

Now just suppose that

our lovely poignant feelings,

so seemingly acute,

profound,

heart-laden,

potent,

colorful and awesome,

wrenching, brave, or

tentative, are nothing

more than the soft sighs of

some celluloid lover

on a movie screen in a

theater long ago abandoned.

 

Just suppose that all we have learned

about anything and everything

is an elegant and elaborate

story tale, conceived by the same

mad humorist who is winking at us

right now, conjuring our beliefs and then

demolishing them with a one-liner that

stops the mind –

 

"MU".

 

And just suppose that

who and what and when and

why and where we are

can never be known --

an incomprehensible

mystery within

a mystery, flashing

in a Mysterious Vastness.

 

And just suppose that,

radiating throughout this immensity,

is an irresistible pulse of Infinite Love

expressing Itself in every form for the sheer

Enjoyment of Recognizing Itself anew through the

eyes and ears and noses and tongues and touches and

hearts and minds and perceptions and lack of all of the above

in those very forms of me & you & everything & nothing.

 

This game -

such a simple way to play!

 

Now, just suppose it wasn't just a game –

just suppose that it was just as true as

anything that's true:

 

 

MU

 

 

 

LoveAlways,
