You there lurking in the shadows
the light throws on the walls of your own becoming. The spiny figures flashing on the wall are you, dear hiding away from your own blinding beauty, running hard. Shall we hazard a guess? Is that a searchlight in your hands? Please, I invite you not to flip the switch. Not this time. If you could only see that out there in the deep empty darkness of mystery nothing glows without you It awaits with wonder you to carry your walking, waking presence, your very birth and being across the threshold of nothing into the open arms of beauty.

analisa domenica
invites you to find out what you are. 
The nun Wu Jincang asked the Sixth Patriach Huineng, "I have studied the Mahaparinirvana sutra for many years, yet there are many areas i do not quite understand. Please enlighten me."
The patriarch responded, "I am illiterate. Please read out the characters to me and perhaps I will be able to explain the meaning." Said the nun, "You cannot even recognize the characters. How are you able then to understand the meaning?" "Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right?" Archives
