i
the mind is as
big as the universal sky
& bigger––

why can’t it think
that way?

Ii
we’re naturally
pre-set to stop
growing––
we’re culturally
conditioned to truncate
thought––
we age––we die––
& then there’s the ego.

all bad habits!
break them!

Iii
think bigger than bigness––
think better––
think purer––

iv
leave not a hair’s breadth
between word
& thing––

let the picture
birth the bone,
sinew & the growling
cat––
or the screech of the flying
dinosaur

why not?

v
all we can know of
all that is––
is a thought that’s
thinking
in a mind like
a god’s

vi
what freedom
crafting visible worlds
out of invisible matter––

no barriers left––
the idea of limit
erases itself
perfectly––

vii
you is a self, a soul,
a spirit & all
else

viii
breath of the living––
breath of the dead––
breath turned inside
out

ix
all is a flow
so just go––

fixed things aren’t

no this or that––
no upside & no
down

x
space without place––
time without measure––
are you comfortable here?

so you are––
so the is is
