August 05, 2023 – A

I take silence seriously,
and solitude,
and emptiness.

Everything flows from there,
and leads to there,
like the tide going out
and coming in.

I take humor seriously.
Balancing opposites.
Harmonizing discordances.
Inner with outer,
yes with no,
Yin with Yang...

Letting everything be what it is,
as it is,
because it is,
and watching/seeing how things fall out
around/with everything else.

I hate crowds and noise,
and keep my distance
as much as possible,
and accommodate/acquiesce
when required by circumstances.

I love circumstances.
The source of everything,
The end of everything,
though nothing ever ends
actually,
only apparently so,
spinning on eternally--
a part of circumstances
impacting circumstances,
creating circumstances,
noise,
complexity,
drama,
trauma,
seeking the peace
of emptiness,
stillness,
silence
of the AUM
at the heart of it all,
in the dance of life and being,
light and darkness,
realization and laughter,
all without end,
the loop of infinity
being infinite.

What a party to be a part of,
hating parties,
loving parties,
discordant harmonies,
seeking AUM...

And the dance goes on.
There is only the dance (Eliot).
