In Search Of The Ultimate Truth

From Big Bang to Ying Yang, you name it, I tried it:

Astral projection, Childhood Rejection, EST, Seth, Chess,

Primal Scream, Wet Dream, lost soul, Pentecostal,

Macrobiotic, Embryonic, Sufi, sushi, Rolf, golf,

Numerology, Scientology, and every other –ology from astro- to zoo-,

Naturopathy, Herbal tea, neuralpharmachology…

Like Weed, speed, LSD, peyote,

Spiritual Improvement, American Indian Movement,

Deist, Atheist, Evolutionist, Creationist,

Nichiren Shoshu, shakubuku, Go, nam-yo-ho-ren-ga-kyo,

Biorhythm, Inner Child, Primitivism.

Nordic Runes, rising moons, 2nd coming, morning running,

I Ching hexagram, Amnesty International, Oxfam,

Tae Kwan do, Aikido, judo, sprouts and other rabbit food,

Kung-fu, jiu-jitsu, granola and tofu too,

I walked the plank of Ultimate Truths

When illusion vanished, the fads out played and I stayed, undaunted

Left with the knowledge that everyone has all along what counted

There are no shortcuts for none are needed

The distance between your head and heart is not that far

So lovely----and so true---
in the East we have a very old belief ---it is about about the fragrance that the deer is trying to find----unknown to itself---it is within the deer ----- in it's own navel!!!!----but it never comes to know----and spends it's lifetime searching for the hidden source of fragrance.
i love this poem!

Aint that the truth! It's not all that complicated, wonder why we have such need to make it so difficult. I once asked a friend of mine that question and he said: because if it is easy then everyone could do it and there would be nothing special about it.
I beg to differ, there's perfection in simplicity. The hardest part is to figure that out.

"When illusion vanished, the fads out played and I stayed, undaunted" This line is what life is about. Wonderful Words.
Peace be with you, SS

strange, how when we search for the ultimate truth we ultimately realize there is none ...

well written ....
