cyclic evolving chasm

There are blows in life, so formidable... I don't know!

Victory Over The Sun - Black Heralds

Cyclic

Bonded, emerging, life;

Rendered, destroyed - disease and death; struggle and pain.

Inflicted with isolation, we lash out at all that's left.

Cycle repeats.

Evolving

Always reaching, for the true self.

Grasping and non-grasping, that empty void of self.

Facing it head-on, in daily practice, how could there be any doubt?

Practice-realization is truth; black hole simulacrums kill, kill.

Chasm

Eyes open, the flower turns the whole universe, and the whole universe turns the flower.

Eyes closed, the flower turns, the universe turns. The universe does not turn. The flower does not turn.

Listening, the path is dark with stone lanterns. I can hold your hand.

Yet steps are never taken.
