a walk

"be nobody. be divine."
--Kabir

a tree could fall
and i'd never know about it.
that is okay.

with no ears
i caught myself whistling
and the wind
had a different sound
through each tree.

this means nothing.

with no eyes
i saw myself seeing
brilliant pinpoints of light-dancing--
light which moved with me--

i was the path. . .
alone is a word. . .
all one?
[more words]

who walked?
[silent]
i went nowhere.

love, light and blessings,
gen :-)

Hello Gen,

I just love what you write, flows like water to my mind.

A reflection came up as I was reading this, so here it is...

Is it not the tree saying: "that is okay", that he could fall without
never knowing about it except in having "someone", a prolongation of its
subtle roots and leafs, say: "that is okay"?
