I have gone to the dark side of the moon – again.
Slipped just outside the light – unseen, unnoticed – lost contact.
Whirling through the darkness unable to see.
Houston, is there a “problem?”
How does this happen when one has intimately Seen?
How does the One forget that it is One – believing two?
Makes me doubt the Seeing,
holding only a glimpse…
How can there be so much darkness
when one has Seen what is –
that there is only One living Itself
in the many forms – in all the experiences:
The Truth of Existence…
Life continues on the dark side of the moon,
eventually returning to the Seeing – to the Light –
with no agenda of how the trajectory should go.
Just life completing its orbit…
Simply living.

Interesting. Reminds me of how much I resist the "dark side of the moon" and yet when we think of it that way, it's really just part of the turning, don't you think? Dark, light, dark, light. It's just that we tend to prefer the light. Thanks for the reminder. It seems I need it constantly! Otherwise there I am out there grasping after the light.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's really just about life cycling through its phases, completing its orbit, like the moon - a play of light and dark. And so it seems "we" go through these dark phases, which sets up the seeking for light again, when all we have to do is wait and the light returns - as it was never really gone - just not seen. Just simply live it, whatever our particular orbit happens to be at the time. And as you say - we prefer the light and resist the dark, so we struggle when the dark side comes around, which I seem to do a real good job at,:) and poetry sometimes helps me to get out of the way and allow the insight to come through.
