~ All is nothing, as nothing is all... 禅

"



























Kensho

 

 

True happiness comes from within

From deep into your lost or rich soul

Nothing around you will be much more effective

 

Pure emptiness

The mirror as yourself

To truly confess...

 

Not being afraid to analyze

What played hide and seek

Into your crafted mind

 

And reviewing what is empty,

In the re-rebirth wherein

You were the deepest thought of which feeded itself

 

You can be alone, without a mother or a father

As all early maturity inside the child so strong

Just a clue, to be seen further as

 

A honest one and can be trusted

Nothing is more nor less than it is

And the ego is always the same, not large nor small

 

Balance in your upper chamber

Delightful wisdom in each aisle

Each door to open in a different season

 

Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall

Equality of the world

Living the most important freedom

 

Honesty, and trust

Loved ones and the ones who rest in dust

Respect to everyone

 

Kensho and it's flow shall be never gone

~ Ramble of the head, in silence, out of bed...
Before I enter again in Kensho's arms, as an Koan

I love this positive self help description of of mature compassion. This scripture is like an omen. It is known by most, yet seen or lived by few. We who all bleed energy to help the need to be free in ecstasy. This is a wonderful evening read for me, as I just finished putting in a hot and sweaty day in the yard turning a bunch of old tires into a raised bed for the start of my garden. I feel more complete now after reading this, as I embed all this into my whole being. Wonderful write! Truly inspiring! Real positivity! Thanks for sharing your tremendous thoughts. X :)

This is very good. Seeing yourself as you really are is the hardest thing anyone can ever do; even a perfect mirror can be stained in the minds of whomever perceives it. Looking inward into the human spirit is, without a doubt, the scariest thing I've ever done. I have only truly done it once; I still haven't gotten over the shock of it sometimes. (I know I'll have to do it again in life, too--that's a cheerful thought, ain't it?) The music fits it very well, too. Even if I don't understand the language, the meaning and feel come through.

[Is kensho a martial arts term or something? I know in Japanese, Ken means "sword", so is kensho the name of a martial/spiritual discipline guided by sword practice? Or is it something else?]

Thank you dear spirit....
You have written this piece like a true Kung Fu Master... one who has found the art of Fighting without fighting...

I think I should read this once a week to remind myself to remain centered... as you know I can be carried away. ;)

Thank you my friend, you feel me!
This was truly a beautiful piece. It is often one good to peer into the soul of one's own self to find enlightment and peace. This was a brilliant and stunning piece here.

I don't know what was more gorgeous...the black and white pic...your words. A reflection of you, and the spirit world around you. Karma must be your friend. What enigmatic beauty.

There was this tender calming effect as I read your poem, with the amazing song playing in the background. Wisdom accentuates the beauty through each and every word, so thoughtful, and beautifully conveys the truth about finding yourself, intrinsic to finding true happiness. Great choice of words, and a lovely way to bring in the Kensho belief, and just this surge of positive feelings that linger. I can't stop thinking 'beautiful'.
