Harsha: Ultimately the mystery of existence is tied to the mystery of

perception. What is it that we are truly able to perceive without

interpretation? Whatever must be given interpretation is necessarily going to

be distorted. And yet there are moments in life which require no

interpretation until they are remembered. When two lovers meet there comes a

moment of being without interpretation. It may be in a simple embrace or after

the consummation. When a child is held by his mother, a similar moment arises

for the child. Such moments point or indicate the possibility which is always

alive in us. Self-Realization is simply that. It is infinity caught in the

moment and the moment expanded to infinity. Whether one is sipping tea,

playing chess, in meditation, with friends, family, etc., that moment is

always there. It is just You. So ultimately the mystery of existence is tied

to the mystery of perception. What is it that we are truly able to perceive

without interpretation? Whatever must be given interpretation is necessarily

going to be distorted. What is it that requires no interpretation?

WHERE REALITY IS

 

Streaks of sunlight pour over a darkening Sea

Outlining clouds in molten silver.

While the sun sinks in silent mystery

Behind the horizon.

 

It's the time of quiet breezes,

Of waves that whisper their

Souls on beaches made of gold.

 

The solitude, the gentle peace

Wash over me. Facing the setting sun

Taking a deep breath, I lose myself.

 

I blend into the surrounding quiet,

Whisper in the waves and swirl

Joyously in the breezes; becoming

Part of the natural innocence and

Simplicity that is.

 

By losing myself in the greater reality,

I understand that life is only how its

Perceived.

 

The only name reality has is the one we give it.

Summer evening,

Sun sets over the sea.

Waves wash up seashells,

cover them again

with

sand

Who is there to lose?

Never apart, never together,

standing by the seashore,

at evening.

No greater reality,

No lesser reality,

 

Drop away form and word!

 

Listen,

 

Wind creaks branches

of the old tree

in the forest by

the sea.

 

Surf pounds the sand,

 

Foam beads bubble and

for a moment froth

into where the came.

I love it.. giggling.. What we use to do on a board for

creative writing was to write poems to ask and answer each

others questions. Then we actually wrote a story. An ancient

tale about a bard and a warrior-ess.

was awesome. The only communication had to be written in

prose it was a challenge and extremely creative.

Love,

flute
