“This existential awakening to the presence of infinite otherness within the self-consciousness of the finite life wakes the relative self to the truth that this absolute is also immanent in all sentient beings.” Takeshi Morisato, Faith and Reason, 166.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Why I take these walks
is not at all clear to me
on overcast spring
days. I have to wait
a long time in the drizzle
for the difference
between the waves and
the ducks to appear, but when
it does, gray is not
gray. Nothingness is
nothing but makes room for this—
waves, ducks, gray poets.
