I am in a boat, watching the waves
When I learn the ways of the ocean,
I shall become one with it
And go to the depth of it,
In the stillness
And vastness
The boat isn't really there,
neither am "I"
The waves are only on the surface...
There's only depth...
And silence
तथाता tathātā
When I learn the ways of the ocean,
I shall become one with it
And go to the depth of it,
In the stillness
And vastness
The boat isn't really there,
neither am "I"
The waves are only on the surface...
There's only depth...
And silence
तथाता tathātā
This poem was written in 2006.
तथाता tathātā is a Sanskrit and Pali word, a Buddhist term, which is difficult to translate, yet often translated as "suchness"and "thusness". It expresses the true nature of reality in any given moment - being always "as it is".
