Insouciance

Might I care more if I knew this ephemera called life were of my own choosing? Perhaps, my fear of failure engenders the lack of genuinely caring about anything that does not serve me; Perhaps, insouciance falls to him who questions his motives. Sign in to see full entry.

From Life to Life

An opening of the eyes closes them; and, the taking of a breath begins the dream of mortality; Can we desire what already is, without denying its presence? Perhaps closed eyes see best, for they have no reason to interpret what is. Sign in to see full entry.

Everything and Nothing

We arrive with everything, but believe we are nothing; Which came first: The thought of being less, or the experience derived from wanting more? Cast off the heavy cloak of unmet needs, and experience yourself as whole. Sign in to see full entry.

Indwelling Peace

What is borrowed must be returned, no matter if the idea of exclusive ownership reigns; Must I create what I have merely forgotten? Can I not negate what I have learned and come to cherish? In letting go, what is real comes to rest and abides there. Sign in to see full entry.

Limitless Beyond

Limitlessness is the void: it manifests when limits cease to be. Can omniscence exist without the mind's use of time through memory? Through passive observation, the tetherless tether can be glimpsed and overcome. Sign in to see full entry.
