"GINNY'S WAVE": A Haiku
(by ginny brocki)

Rainfall on ocean,

see Unicity, no form.

Come, dissolution.

Visitors are invited to read the poem and then enter into the silence of contemplation.

F.H.: In the typical Japanese haiku, a kireji (or "cutting word") usually appears at the end of one of the verse's three metrical phrases, serving not just as a closing but more as an ultimate and final finishing in terms of the message.

In the above, see “dissolution” as the cutting word, meaning...

...a word that cuts away all identity, personal or otherwise

...a word that cuts away any chance of taking anything personally (and thus remaining at peace during the manifestation)

...a word that cuts away delusion (the most prevalent dealing with assumed roles / identities)

See "dissolution," therefore, as an ultimate and final finishing…

...of false identities

...of any identity

...of all of the fluctuations and chaos that accompany the assumption of identities, and

...of the notion that there is something special or personal involved with a “form” or "space”

Has the ultimate and final finishing happened with both "you" and "You"?

The response to one charging with profane words that the intent here is "to convince people to believe what I believe when I should be helping them by quoting Shankara instead of Maharaj and by citing only the holy scriptures":

THE ABSURDITY
of
THE INAUTHENTIC SELF

(by f.)

First, years all lost within the dark;

Then came to Me this burning spark

That set to fire all and each belief

And prepped the stage for true relief.

I came as You, not planned at all,

Heard tales that do the sane appall,

But balked at lies they did all tell -

Their lies that make the mind true hell.

I make no claim that "Truth I speak."

(No one can state what seekers seek).

But specks have come to point the way

To what Each knows but cannot say.

You claim to know the only way...

That Truth is what he and you say.

To talk your hate with profane words

Then speak of "one"? What's more absurd?

The texts Your logic put on hold

And thoughts and words and deeds control.

Your mouth lets swollen ego sing,

Lost in your role of "special thing."

CONTENTMENT'S DILEMMA

(by Isabel Corbett
Bryanston, Johannesburg)

This feeling of contentment
Wholeness, fullness
Takes getting used to

Nothing to seek nothing to lose
Nothing to find nothing to gain
Takes some getting used to

For the little demon in the mind
Jumps up wildly and shouts!!
There's something to do
There's something to find
There's something to gain!!

And you watch it like a placid rock
And wonder why all the commotion

From this frantic little monster
Jumping, gesticulating
Screaming!! I'm here!
Yet utterly powerless
To disturb the calm
Of solid imperturbality

So you watch it
In amusement

Then the little freaky malcontent
Disappears

But doesn't stay way
Oh! No, no, no,
It rises again
With frantic limbs
To its manic dance
More crazy than ever

And you observe it

Then it vanishes

Desperately it repeats
It's phantom yearnings
Over and over
Weaker and weaker
Till it whimpers
Then sinks

Into its own nothingness
Too ignored and exhausted
By its very own
Illusory nature
To rise again

For it never existed
It had no beginning
But it did have an end

Contentment's minor dilemma
Obliterated

Also by ginny

...where there is none."

He sits near train tracks

waiting for the scheduled run,

it gives a sense of order..."
