Source


Source:

questioning source - as if it could be anywhere other than this moment alone, or anything else than what's arising right now. There is no far point from which our world arrives from, nothing distant from the immediacy of what appears to us, and all we hear, and whatever comes directly to the senses. It's all without source, each experience infinitely regressed to nothingness, and to this there is really no more to say. 

nothingness is absolute.

and yet,

here we are, breathing this aliveness, aware, and somehow we've appeared from nothing at all. A gift of absolute mystery. To speak of nothingness isn't nihilistic, and to talk of the absolute isn't a concept removed from the present moment of experience. It's right now, each joy and every sorrow, trivial and the shattering of our world. 

everything. 

let's not add to this, bringing attributes of subtle separation, and implying some hidden knowledge of this deepest mystery. Our experience is now, it's this, and whatever its source is also in this moment. That's all we really know as certain. To speak of source, God, or even nothingness, it's only words, and somehow too they're just appearing. 

it's all mystery.
