There is no “if”.
Make your story,
if you must,
from this one Now.
Nor any cleft:
this Now is whole,
don’t separate
a ‘world’ and ‘me’.
Nor ‘living’ from ‘inert’,
animal from plant,
grass from tree:
ten thousand things appear.
Relish Clarity,
Openness,
remembering:
the rest you made.
Experience lives,
responds, knows
beauty, suffering, love:
This feels.
