When you have stopped treading water with the caterpillars and sunk into the infinity pool you realise you are "in the world but not of it" and emerge a butterfly.


Waking Up

There is only one truth:
I exist.

Stars&Pills
Thank you both for the interesting and thought provoking replies.

I agree regarding the "I" concept; I've been reading a lot of Jed McKenna lately, which is what inspired this poem.

Provocative koan. Though there are some who are convinced that there also is no 'I,' that everything is an illusion. I've just about concluded that all that in the end matters very little. All we can do (if there really is a 'we' or not) is try to make each day (let's assume for the moment that there really is a day) a good one.

Nice work. Keep 'em coming.

Are you sure?
I existed once but gave it up on account of my argumentative nature :)
Thought provoking words Stars.
