GALLERY OF GHOSTS

Very few of us write on a blank page,

Or eat off an empty plate.

Try not to think and you are thinking

Ignore the moment and you dream.

Rudra adapted many a strategy over the years to achieve emptiness.

He thought he had identified the enemy and began to encircle it.

A full frontal attack was followed by the infiltration of undercover agents.

Locking horns prolongs the conflict.

Strategic retreat earns respite.

But he was not looking for either of these. 

Sixty years passed before he realised he was in a gallery of ghosts.

Non-Duality for golfers:

'Every hole a hole in one.'

I confess I truly know nothing.
The appearance is a bafflement
The body equally so
And please dont start on the mind.

Slipping through these immense waters, nothing stirs.

Once I was surrounded with barriers,
Problems followed hot on each other's heels.
But what can be left when there is no lucky winner, no lucky loser?

-Rudra Nua

TRACES

How could you

Tread in yesterday's footprint

Inhabit the space you just left

Replicate the person that stepped out of the moment just gone?

The carpet rolls up behind you

There is just the right amount of carpet where you stand.

Tent pegs will not penetrate rock

Ideal ground is right beneath you.

I once saw a fozen river

But even that thawed in the spring

Why flog a dead horse?

Leave not a trace of your existence.

THE END OF THE LINE

'Are we there yet?'

'There' will never be here.

"Is this really it?"

Yes, this really is it.

"Will everything fall into place

When I reach my destination?"

Everything is in place.

You will never reach your destination.

There will never be an end of the line.

How could there be a beginning or an end

When there is no line?
