Beyond This and That

Sometimes I don't know where I am
Sometimes I don't know who
I am...

Then there are moments of connection
to LIFE
to a sense of Oneness
to trees and squirrels
and brooks and maggies

Sometimes I think
and figure I am this or that

Sometimes I feel
happy or sad
glad or not this or that
numbed by thinking
this and that

Then life happens and it's all Life
This beingness
typing letters and symbols and
telling a story of what was
what might be

Then remembering to forget
about this and that
and sit in the momentous silence
in between this and that...

Remembering to be
Being
Here
Now
Always

beyond this and that
infinitely beyond

and it's all exactly what it is
whatever that may be
beyond any interpretation
or distortion

Mystery Moment
Again
and Again
Now
and Now
and Now
