REALITY
Only what matters now.
Wind rushing your
face.
What synapses
facilitate.
The moments you feel
‘connected’.
For humans the finite
that exists in time.
What can be agreed
upon and what cannot.
Everything in the
‘receptor’ that is sensed or known.
For cynics: what is
left over after the food is digested.
Impressions and
interpretations somewhere in your head.
If there is a God an
orderly arrangement of matter prodded by energy for purposes
both temporal and eternal; if God does not exist then just forms
appearing and disappearing for no reason.
- Perhaps infinity
when it stalls.
- Perhaps
everything is what it is … not what we think it is.
- Perhaps there are
as many realities as there are sentient beings.
- Perhaps what
truly exists can never be fully understood only alluded to.
- Perhaps that
which has a beginning and an end or perhaps that which is
not that.
- Perhaps we are
constantly treading water in a pool of accumulating
realizations.
- Perhaps the only
reality we will ever know is when we listen quietly in
solitude.
- Perhaps you do
not have a ‘clue’ until ‘death’s door’ opens and you say “oh
yea.”
- Perhaps the only
constant is change; perhaps when substance and motion
disappear all that will be left is YOU.
- Perhaps you are a
spiritual being who must manipulate matter for awhile never
knowing quite why; perhaps after a requisite time and
experiencing you move on to another type of manipulation,
one you have more control over.
