At Once

At once:

it can't be anymore direct than this, simply looking for our own head, not in a mirror, nor photo, but just relying on our own line of vision and then regarding what is found. This is meant to be an experiment, approaching it with curiosity and innocence, playful, yet taking seriously the results. I like to do this as a more formal inquiry, asking the question "where am I?" and then giving a serious search for self, dismissing object after object until at last my own headlessness is revealed. 

and then I just live myself from there.

there's no need to make a big deal over it.

reality is always present.

and if I ever need to remind myself...

I only need to look again.

I'm equally fascinated by the emptiness found here as I am with the rich texture of the world that immediately fills this newly discovered void. It all happens at once, everything, my disappearance and then rebirth as the appearance of every single detail of the world. And this occurs beyond the realm of time, quicker than instantaneous, already present and available for me to explore. 

I am everything at once.

 and nothingness as well. 

newly discovered,

yet ancient and ever present too.

I am reality, life...

revealing myself in small details of a personal world.

and seen from my own headlessness,

an entire universe shines through.

everything, nothing, 

at once.
