A simplistic paradox;
Infinitely finite and finitely infinite.
Now and Never,
Once and Forever.
Logical and Mythical
Real and Illusion.
Reality is all of these things
yet is it none
for these are but words
which oversimplify, by definition.
Reality is a state of mind.
Nothing can convey the true vividness of Reality
except the whole experience of Life itself.
Art tries and comes close
and is a sort of Temple in the Mind
to the once and always infinite;
the secular Divine.
Inexplicable and intelligible
Ineffable and described.
Secular and Holy
All and None.
There is a pattern here
of polarity as unity
of duality as singularity
of simplicity as complexity.
Humans make of simplicity, complexity
and of what's singular we divide.
Of a unity, we polarize.
There is a pattern here.
Reality and all it's subsequent domains
are both holographic and tangible.
It is a paradox of obvious nature,
with an obvious answer hidden by Mind.
It is what it is.
Live it as such.
