Poem Artwork

To ignore its profundity means
To forget about silent awareness;
You cannot master sitting still
If you are not familiar with
Frenzied races. It is perfect,
Like nothing else, and there is
Nothing lack in its depth, but
Its insight has nothing as excess.

If you discern between opposed ends,
You thus miss its real state of being;
For this reason, do never adhere to
Its outer simplicity, nor stay within
Its internal intricacy. All difference
Ceases once you can see the world
Thru the clear glass of indifference.

Calmness enters your heart by itself
Once all excitements become arrested.
Sticking to sitting still is also a blunder;
If you hold fast to only one of the ends,
How can you taste someday the might
Of integrity -- the tight knot of One?

One is where we start to reach two;
Two presents the completeness of one,
Making way for the number three. 
As opposed to the even two, three obtains
The odd nature of one; therefore,
It always comes back to it, producing
A whole bunch of the worldly stuff.

 Reviews of "The One."
Reviewed by John Herlihy
Reviewed on April 2, 2016
The idea of the One brings everything together, as you say "It's insight has nothing as excess." However, I take another road from the "way of indifference". I am in sympathy with everything human; if anything I am detached rather than indifferent, of it but not in it as it were. A sense of Oneness can heighten our sense of detachment, bringing a greater understanding to the realities that we see and experience around us and over which we have no control. John
