I acknowledge that this may well be hypocritical to the very nature of what I am presently doing, but I continue;
If it were so simple that language could describe it,
it wouldn't be worth the effort it takes
to try to capture it with whatever medium you can
even when that medium is language.
Your life itself is an expression of it.
You are it as it is you.
Tat tvam asi.
Then again, if it were so simple we could understand it,
we would be so simple that we couldn't.

As "it" is nothing, so is it everything.
Hopefully the aforementioned acknowledgement lends merit and not mere dismissal.
