Oneness

The rain spatters hard against the windowpanes,
forced by a prevailing wind.
The fire gently crackles, announcing heat and light
as it greedily licks up the newly-cut logs.
These are the world of name and form,
the historical dimension.

Close the eyes, become stillness,
the ultimate dimension reveals itself.

A vast space in which One
is manifest and many disappear.
Interbeing is a word unnecessary here,
a mild description of what fills the heart
and is known and recognised
in a wordless space beyond mind.

Gone are the dualistic notions that bind us to the world.
Birth and death,
coming and going,
you and me,
are not needed here,
in this empty space full of Oneness.


Close the eyes, become stillness,
the ultimate dimension reveals itself.

Reveals itself as

infinite, 

boundless, 

compassionate, 

loving, 

whole-hearted

and free.
