Nothing Happening Here

AND SO


there is only One

all else is illusion

construction in mind

there is nothing happening here

there is only

One Being Awareness

stillness silence perfection

and in the stillness

a breathing perhaps

as if

there is only One breathing


and all this is that breathing

all this is That

we are That

we are that One


yet not -

not even we are One

because there is no we

only One



nothing happening here

despite what it seems

nothing matters

still

the One breathing

is an Outpouring of

pure blazing compassion

love   forgiveness   beauty   gift


and I find that I am not

who I thought I was

what I have called 'myself'

is nothing - is an idea is

an accretion of memories

attributes patterns thoughts

inheritances habits ideas

which I can look at and say


not I

I am not this

as myself I simply

am not

no self no me has ever existed -

illusion

fabrication

there is nothing happening


nobody here

there is only One

breathing


That is what I - is


I Am That

And That is All

and That is the Brilliance

which all this is -

life death love anguish

compassion understanding healing

light

the Brilliance within

where the Heart opens and there is

Nothing no self no one

only aching beauty

and overwhelming gratitude


Outpouring
