there is only this moment
within the cosmic unfolding of eternity,
we can not control it
we can not know it
nor can we direct
or divert it,
we are, at best an
observer of this now.
we do not trust in this,
yet this is all that there is,
this is the nature of
the reality in which we seek.
do not mistake
aspiration for desire,
it is this that most
do not understand
in sakyamuni’s teaching.
he did not say
to detach from our lives,
he merely tried to teach
about the difference
between aspiration
and desire.
desire contains “I”
aspiration is about “we”
so what can we do?
just believe in this moment
and all is well.
this is OK but some think
that their way
or idea
or religion
will save this cosmos
from itself
what folly is this?
we can not know–
we can not be–
we can not accept
all that is diverse,
for we have not
the capacity
nor the insight
to realize all that is real
or all that is illusion.
we are now.
we are this.
and just this.
is all that there is.
love is all.
and love is now.
