to know when wisdom wants to speak

When I see that I am nothing, that is Wisdom. When I see that I am everything, that is Love. My life is that which moves between these two.-Nisardagatta



to know when wisdom wants to speak
soft spaces of silences
and to feel when love needs room
for fragrant harmonies, is the hymn
of sagacious persons, the glint
of angels reappearing

trees breathe better, with wind to swirl around

to be nothing and something all at once
is the path of sages, forever climbing
is love and wisdom dished out freely:
a blue plate special,
a blue willow design
