Roses to Empty Space
the stillest object or atmosphere may
appear to lack motion--but never
presence.
paradoxically, there's motion in the
greatest stillness--because it possesses
presence.
empty space has the most presence, it
needn't establish a dimensional
relationship to be so.
presence is therefore not dependent on
observability, neither is it independent of
it--it's simply present.
the eyes of a painting may follow you
across a room, just as eyes in-between
you & a painting may follow you across
a room.
even illusion has presence, as seeing was
believing.
remember--the dead outnumber the
living.
there really is no privacy--only the ego
may care, egolessness doesn't blush, yes
you're being watched.
the way that you'll witness a body (yours)
oversleep life--without judgment.
the bridge between the seer & the seen is
presence, which's to say seeing from &
back from to--simultaneously.
thus I present a bouquet of roses to
empty space.
