I cannot find you anywhere
walking up and down the tree-lined streets there is everything to see but you. I imagined that all your old familiar haunts had closed down too empty without you everyone gone mourning but moving toward the window there is only the space now empty of you and full of others living it up as if you'd never been I long to knock hard on the glass to cry out loud to scream your name remind them of your infinite goodness fearless loyalty undying love infectious laugh devoted friendship everything you gave your life to but knocking doesn't happen crying doesn't happen screaming doesn't happen no one will hear me there is only this empty space here where you and I have never been.

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
