-- Meditation --

John Herlihy

Thru meditation, in seeking I seek,

The presence behind the absence,

The absence behind the emptiness,

The emptiness behind the fulness,

The fulness behind the silence,

The silence behind the sound,

The sound behind the breath,

The breath behind the air,

The air behind the wind,

The wind behind the soul,

The soul behind the spirit,

The spirit behind knowing,

Knowing behind the One,

The One behind the only One,

The only One behind the Presence,

The Presence behind the emptiness,

The emptiness behind the absence.

Thru meditation, in seeking I find,

In the absence, I sense presence.
