I am infinite.
I am infinite.
Not expanding.
Not contained.
Movement appears.
I do not move.
Witnessing happens.
No witness stands.
Seeing sees.
Hearing hears.
Knowing knows.
No centre.
No edge.
I do not arrive.
I do not depart.
Rising happens.
Falling happens.
Birth rises.
Birth dissolves.
No remainder.
Names form.
Names loosen.
Names fall away.
I am not behind the eyes.
I am not within the breath.
Eyes open in me.
Breath passes through me.
Unheld.
Unowned.
Time circles.
Time forgets itself.
Before before.
After after.
Not one.
Not many.
Not silence.
Not sound.
Speaking speaks.
Listening listens.
Never two.
Nothing missing.
Nothing added.
No gaining.
No losing.
Freedom not attained.
Freedom noticed.
Effort releases.
Search dissolves.
What remains
never arrived.
What remains
never leaves.
No conclusion.
No continuation.
Only this
without a name.
I am infinite.
Not spoken.
Not thought.
Already.

This work continues through those who choose to remain with it, not to receive more, but to stay present with what is already unfolding.
Ending on “already” is so powerful. Thank you for sharing this one.
*Space-time Wilderness*
In this dreamscape
That I call life
Often am I discombobulated
In the fruitless quest
Of illusory meaning
Seeking succour
I immerse myself
In the swirl of events
That I mistake for reality
Even as I fail to notice
This appearance of myself
Is but a collage of impressions
Walking a disappearing path
Where groundlessness seems
To be the only ground
Which obviates every need
For existential seeking
So that the wordless spaces
Between stories and songs
Illumine this fragile aliveness
Requiring no apparent cause.
