Rumi
there is neither life nor death
–Farid al-Din Attar
–Mark Strand
Constantly changing while
What constitutes the sense of 'I am' is unmoving.
The shift in the attention from
The former to the latter is
The perfume of lucid sight."
—Wu Xin

Wu Xin
A spirit that lives in this world Be Foolishly in Love
and does not wear the shirt of love,
such an existence is a deep disgrace.
Be foolishly in love,
because love is all there is.
There is no way into presence
except through a love exchange.
If someone asks, But what is love?
answer, Dissolving the will.
True freedom comes to those
who have escaped the questions of freewill and fate.
Love is an emperor.
The two worlds play across him.
He barely notices their tumbling game.
Love and lover live in eternity.
Other desires are substitutes
for that way of being.
How long do you lay embracing a corpse?
Love rather the soul, which cannot be held.
Anything born in spring dies in the fall,
but love is not seasonal.
With wine pressed from grapes,
expect a hangover.
But this love path has no expectations.
You are uneasy riding the body?
Dismount. Travel lighter.
Wings will be given.
Be clear like a mirror
reflecting nothing.
Be clean of pictures and the worry
that comes with images.
Gaze into what is not ashamed
or afraid of any truth.
Contain all human faces in your own
without any judgment of them.
Be pure emptiness.
What is inside that? you ask.
Silence is all I can say.
Lovers have some secrets
That they keep.
~ Rumi

The world’s atoms are all drunk with love
drowned between negation and affirmation.
In the place where the sun casts its light
there is neither life nor death for the atoms

I grow into my death.
My life is small
and getting smaller.
The world is green.
Nothing is all.

The Perfume of Lucid Sight
“It is understood that
Sleep is the desire for
A period of rest
For the body.
It is less understood that
Sleep is the desire for
A period of rest
Away from the body.”
"What constitutes the sense of 'I am this' is
Constantly changing while
What constitutes the sense of 'I am' is unmoving.
The shift in the attention from
The former to the latter is
The perfume of lucid sight."
—Wu Xin (Wu Hsin, 无心)

PAUSE DEAREST ONE
PAUSE DEAREST ONE
MANY TIMES A DAY
INTO THE VAST SOURCE
…THE “NOTHING THAT IS ALL”…
UNTIL THE GREAT PAUSE TAKES OVER
IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
THE BREATH YOU...
(YOU...AS AN ILLUSORY “ME” THAT PARTICIPATES
IN AN ILLUSORY DREAM IN THE DRAMA LIFE THAT SURROUNDS)
... WASTE TRYING TO CHANGE OR RESIST THE DREAM
IS THE VERY SOURCE THAT CARRIES YOU INTO
THE GREAT NOTHING THAT IS ALL.
SIMPLY SHIFT AWARENESS TO INNER CORE AND DISAPPEAR
FROM ALL WORDS AND THOUGHTS.
UTILIZE THE SAME BREATH, THE SAME GREAT SOURCE,
TO CARRY YOU INTO INNER CORE….
WHERE THERE IS NEVER A WORD OR A THOUGHT.
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD
BE STILL AND DISAPPEAR TO ALL THAT IS NOT REAL
<
THE VAST PEACE THAT PASSETH EARTHLY UNDERSTANDING IS THEN
ALL THAT IS.
