The flame of singing silence
"Pure it is, the light of lights.
This is what the knowers of the Self know.
The sun shines not there, nor the moon and stars,
there lightning shines not; where then could this fire be?
This shining illuminates all this world."
Mundaka Upanishad
Enlightenment is the great and final disappointment,
the dissolution of all our egoic fantasies and grand hopes."
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
In the flame of singing silence
all expectations and beliefs are burning
providing more light
in the confusing
night
Suddenly only knowing
is
silently glowing
closer than close
Neither distance nor time
can take you from here to here
always nearer than near
No need to travel far
to find what you
truly are
Simply
be
