naked enough

11-24-2008

In your deafness
you believe that everyone is deaf -
that no one can hear.

In your blindness
you believe that everyone is blind
and no one can see.

"There is no reality,"
i hear you cry.
"Everything is illusion!"
You run in circles,
shouting "Nothing can be known!"

Apparently, you still believe
that you are the creator of reality
and that now that your creations are crumbling
there is nothing left.

Despite all of your noise,
reality smiles knowingly,
seeing that you are once again
becoming naked enough
to come home to it.

Perhaps now that you know
that the mind cannot apprehend the truth
you will let the rest of you remind you where it is.
