Living the Elusive Paradox

To think one can speak the Truth,
capture, in words,
the elusive intangible essence,
the life-breath of all creation,
the invisible formless enigmatic energy
animating every thought and action,

One should laugh,
laugh wildly, now…
before sinking…
into a benevolent reverence
for the all-knowing Tao,

Then,
after contemplating
allowing and experiencing
this eternal namelessness…
understand,

It is within
where you begin,
vague and obscure,
and yet,
an aspect of yourself
that need not remain
a mystery,

That Force behind your eyes
that processes what you see,
and tweaks an amalgam of cues
prompting you
to simply be.
