CREATION

you know the truth ... we all know the truth ... that's not the problem ... the problem is why we don't admit it ... why do we turn from it spurn it pretend we don't know it ... there's just the one thing ... and no I don't mean to denigrate the other stuff ... no I mean at the top ... not where it counts I know the other stuff counts but where it begins to count ... where nothing else counts because there is no counting because there's only one thing ... when you put it that way I begin to see what you mean ... there is no memory because there is no past or future ... there is no acknowledgment of the truth because there is no knowledge neither subject nor predicate nor object neither knower nor known ... knowing this as you say we all do how could we not be confused ... knowing this how should we not all be destroyed ... if this one thing one thing only is real truly real must all else be not ... there is a wonder in it ... not that these distinctions these divisions survive but that we are the ones that take such pride in them when they do ... what's it to us or we to them that these lines for a while touch or don't if none of us is real ... nor an illusion for long ... if this one thing is not both generous and kind
