cling on

We humans cling to what we can see through our extremely limited sense-perception, that flickering struck match in a room with no walls or floor or ceiling.

We cling to our thoughts like persons clinging to a toothpick in an ocean, like persons clinging to bubbles forever bursting.

We cling to each other.

We look to develop a basis for existing, a base, a ground on which to stand. We put our trust in this, in that -- some image of salvation. A salvation that will save us without us undergoing change.

We are so clever. We even invent no salvation as our salvation.

A cloud in the sky has no floor. A bird in flight is only motion.

When we are the universe, we need no shoe horn.

  3. As I read your post, my head nodding in agreement, I suddenly realized some things I am already clinging to this morning.

    Thanks for the timely reminder to let go! The Source reveals such beauty to us when we stop clinging.

  4. Have often found myself clinging to bubbles I've just created, while stewing in my own bathtub. Yes, I've farted at the farter--even though they're one and the same...
