Downstream

Is the Universe friendly?

The answer is no
only if I am trying to row
upstream.

Turn it around
and watch,
feel,
notice...
you are being carried

"row your boat
gently
down the stream"

merrily,
enjoy the game,
where the universe is taking you...
the view

the foreign lands,
th0se strAnge peoPle--
the "robbers"
who show me
the depth of my wellness

thank you (me)!

a simple blade of grass,
some are even eight feet high!

gone...

Only Presence

and not even...

No thing solid

No thing solid exists
until you construct it,
cons-true  (con you it is true)

just notice the million
bits of nothingness
and broken off shards
that have to be collected,
called upon,
and held together
to make this "thing"

notice the holes
and cracks,
the missing parts
that have to be filled in

without a past,
without a future
where is your evidence?

without hearsay (someone said it...it must be true)
where is the danger?

what is
in danger?

Pow! You're "dead" now.
Perhaps you'll be surprised!

what are you without all that evidence
about you,
about any thing?

is that ALL the evidence
or just a smattering?

Oh Sweetheart,
is that a fair verdict?

Or was the search biased
from the very outset?

Things exist.
Is it true?
