The Word

In the beginning was the Word

And the power of the Word was to

Scan the vast reality of the cosmos

The ever present always changing

Now-ness

Of the presence of being and to focus

The attention if only briefly on one

Small Aspect

To say Look and See this Small

Aspect and believe that it is something on its own

With some sort of separateness from the

vast being of what is.

And the word was good and useful

And over time more words came to join

And one day there was such a flood of words in existence

A vast ocean really

All pointing to the separateness of

Things

That it came to pass that the hearers of the words and even the speakers of the words forgot that the power of the word was only to be temporary

To highlight briefly and notice and appreciate

But it was never meant for the idea of separateness of disconnection

To be seen as Reality

For Reality is the Great Being

The Great Is-ness

The Great Connectivity of All That Is

And Was and Will Ever Be

So in our time the challenge is to

See and Appreciate the power of the Word

But to restore balance we are called to

Learn to set the words aside

To create and to experience life

As the vast unnamed

To Be with what Is

Without the compulsion to

Label and divide

To dissolve if only temporarily

Into the Oneness

That was always there

And is always there

Just on the other side

Of the Word.

The Nameless.

The Wordless.

The Is.
