THE SHORTHAND OF PROSEPublished on July 4, 2013
The shorthand of prose is poetry, yet sometimes even poetry is not fast enough to see beyond itself to the sheer seeing that wants to be seen. Of course, this is what insight meditation is all about and every doing is different.
Insight,
Is not insight,
Into something.
Insight is,
Clarity of seeing,
Not something,
Seen.
There is nothing,
To be seen,
But seeing clearly.
Seeing,
Seeing itself seeing,
Is the object,
Of insight …
Looking at,
Looking at.
