Eye Yam

I am a thought
a reflection in the moment
a symbol in the moment
with underlying presuppositions that this "I"
is a "who" that resides in this body.

In one motion thought creates a "sentence" in the form of "me
and my separateness from the universe."

Competing "thought plants" in the garden of the mind
one vine competes with other plants to live
it is the nature of seeds to sprout under the right conditions
so when we don't attend to our garden, some seeds get by
and sprout up when the overall concept of one's garden is in place
and we'd rather not have that vine or weed be our ...........face.

I am the game
that I'm programmed to play
with its rules of engagement
and presuppositions

I am the moment itself
everything in my awareness
with its orientation
of relationships

I am everything
I am nothing
I am in between
I am...all my thoughts
I am everything I'm aware of
I am that I am that is everything and nothing
I am that union
I am the ignoring of things
I am relationship
I am that which sees
I am action
I am action of nonaction
I am the well of silence and sound
I am the well of unknowing and the known
I yam what I yam
[is "am" a verb? or state of being? what's "being"? Words only go so far, with their edges.]

everything is happening, the "I" isn't doing any of it
it's all just happening, the "I" is just sitting there
as another image in thought's storytelling
and rendering software.......the "I" is another leaf on the branch of thought.

nondifferentiation is a soup of the dying orientation,
the light of "seeing" is there, to help shape thought...

the loophole patches, agents of tradition are there
only to cultivate continuity for the memory machine's garden
not necessarily to free minds from outdated software
and create the much needed upgrade...that considers realities
the realities that the organism and environment are ONE.

Thanks for reading.
