after my tongue
|I sat up straight, inhaled three deep breaths and exhaled far out into emptiness.
I centered my unconscious on the paper filled with nothing.
The entire world has been reduced to a blank sheet of white paper.
My wisdom mind of intent became water. It was quiet, calm and still with concentration and focus.
I listened to brush, ink and paper. I am a conduit.
Be the brush, be the ink, be the water, be the paper.
Each essence is pure, free, clear and luminous.
My useless tongue flapped in the cold December Himalayan wind.
Stories and songs are birds. I heard children laughing and singing. They greeted each other in the babble of nothing, playing with strings of word pearls. They dreamed with their eyes open.
When we are asleep we are awake.
Is handwriiting alive?
