"Surrender" is said
With "surrenderer" clung to
Go on suffering
If there is "surrenderer"
There has been no surrender

*

Seeing Division
Brings ignorance of blindness
Same with Unity
Both are seen in ignorance
Both imply duality

*

In realizing
All the things which I am not
Understanding came
Of eternally Being
That which IS when I am not

Most excellent Tankas!
I too favour the third one.

Larry~
A wonderful TankaTrioLet~

My favorite would be -

'In realizing
All the things which I am not
Understanding came
Of eternally Being
That which IS when I am not'


Such wisdom in this beauty~
