meditations

I am, therefore I think. Such is the zen inversion of Descartes' famous axiom.

A rose is not a rose. That is why it is truly a rose.

I am emptiness, and that is why I exist.

words, speech, all forms
soil that which
is the only honored
and sacred one across the
Six Realms.

天上天下唯我独尊。

---

the great
gateless gate
begins at once to creak open
and rays of infinite light
shine through the opening
illuminate my face,
my true
face.

the One cannot observe the One.

하나는 하나를 볼 수 없다.
