Patience and White Light (I Am Nothing.)

[Guest guest]

All good points below!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My experience of living

 

 

In a body:

 

 

Cycles.

 

 

Sleep, anger, love

 

Hunger, danger, grub...

 

 

" enlightenment, "

 

" unenlightenment, "

 

the quotidian....

 

 

being beyond cycles,

 

 

is also within cycles

 

 

and vice versa.

 

 

 

And words and processes

 

Intermingle in ever new

 

Patterns.

 

 

 

The guiding star for this night sky:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patience and White Light.
