Truths -- A Poem

creature and creator
conventional and ultimate
beings and being
trees and rhizomes

loving surrender to infinite love
mystery, acceptance,
Logos, Son of God,
revelation, Trinity
transsubstantiation
of matter,
of us through
“reverent, astonished wonderment”
a simple,
bowing of the head,
bending of the knee

transforming our consciousness
caught in the web of
obstructions:
desire, hatred, ignorance,
through meditation on
and perception of ultimate truth,
of emptiness,
“purifying obstructions”
with meditation –
analytical, stabilizing, visualizing . . .
debate, memorization,
techniques, skills, practices
purifying obstructions within the paths of the tradition

thinking by thanking through
pathways in the forest of
being,
basking in the Open,
in the Lightening,
in the unconcealedness,
“inward conversion to the Open with the heart”
continual renewal of the question of being,
wondering, wandering,
transforming the technological perspective,
dwelling, not owning, not controlling

diving into the pure source of creativity
with no safety net
freedom and creativity live
breath is all
events not things
invent or perish
maps not systems
maps of fancy
mappemundes of the moment
mobile enough to keep pace,
to create the future
in its yearnings and strivings
and creations
