There is no becoming.

There is only this verge before
the sudden emptiness of what
may be.


This is where we stand.


We are the subtle edge between
two worlds.


We are the essence of all things
that vanish in a flash of
fierce desire.


We are the secret that lingers in
the silent wonder of the dawn.


We are a myth...left shattered in
the wake of realitys
glance.


And we are the space that gives
form to broken pieces left
unfound.


There is no becoming.


There is only this nameless verge
that stands before us...


Waiting.

If there is no becoming, is there also no being? Still I like the thoughts in this.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Hi Kethry,
Thanks for your reply!

There is only Being.
This thought alone can take us past the notion of duality.
We can only become what we are not.
And what are we not?
We are the mind-stuff of God.
The micro within the macro.
The wave to the ocean.
We simply are...everything.


Love,
Eric

Wow... such powerful beauty, profound spiritual truth.  I love the flow of this, too... a deep ripple caressing my thoughts and awakening my mind.

Thank you for your brilliant light... I see more now than I did before.

I love you,
Moca

I know this, Eric.  And for the impatient, such as myself, the waiting is torture of the worst kind.

A great write,
Patricia

(big hugggsssssss) I believe there is a becoming, but what also must be understood is that the becoming is not just some sunrise you see or some message you anticipate a teacher to write on the blackboard or a green light you wait for, it probably goes on every second and one can never register it! (sigh) That's where I see the myth coming in, this is excellent, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Eric, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

....all of it, but especially this. Well conceived, and well said.
