KOAN NOT TO

 

In this cloudy world of distractions

To see is not to see

To do is not to do

To understand is not to

And to know is but mere delusion

Yet, when the morning sun shines in silence

To let go, is true enlightenment!

WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE

My breath has ceased and my tireless heart has skipped its eternal beat

My earthly job is done, and my empty soul is finally free

Where do I go from here now?

From nothingness I came and in emptiness I was

Into the stream of nothingness, will I not flow?

With Ideas of self identity, and thoughts of eternity

Will they not melt away with the rotting flesh?

As form and feature can no longer cling in impunity

As the mind and matter, merge to their final unity

Tell me dear life; where do I go from here now?
