Real Freedom (was: To Call It One)

There is nothing to explain.

There is no answer, nor any

legitimate question.

 

When old Yu was asked about the One

he got up and walked out of the room.

 

Sitting here I feel a comfort in knowing

there is nothing to know.

 

How do I know?

 

Is it just the end of the questions?

That the wondering was extinquished,

snuffed out in the silence?

 

Such ponderings can lay fallow,

waiting for the ages to leaven them.

There is no need to clarify any of this.

 

What is defunct is defunct, past,

utterly gone.

 

Yet the meanderings of the mind still

play in the wind.

 

There is no harm in that.

And if there were, what could be done?

 

Nothing *matters*, and yet the simplicity

of the play of these musings

unravels as it will.

 

Need for justification too is defunct.

 

Such is real freedom.
